Both solutions have a *major* problem : you can't copy/paste code. You
have to add/delete these ~ on each line.
IMHO the last proposal is the only one which is acceptable :

    ~~~
    <title>
    <?php echo $title ?>
    </title>
    ~~~

Another alternative is to use opening and closing braces, perhaps dual braces, to delimit the code block, and retain the requirement for indenting:

{{
    <style>
    <?php echo $stylesheet
    </style>
}}

This has the advantage of being unambiguous and mostly unobtrusive, and you can still copy and paste code. However, it may not be in the spirit of Markdown; I will leave it to John and Michel to say.
