In HTML, pre can contain nested elements and formatting. This is also true in
VE. In wikitext, formatting in pre is only supported when using the indent-pre
serialization. The downside of the indent serialization is that
1) HTML tags in text need to be entity-escaped (ugly wikitext), and
2) trailing newlines require workarounds with <nowiki/> or <br>.
The best serialization strategy thus depends on the content of the pre. We
should serialize modified or new pre elements to
1) html-syntax pre if the text content contains html tags but no elements, and
2) indent pre syntax if the content contains elements. Trailing newlines in
HTML "<pre>foo\n\n</pre>" need to be protected with a trailing <nowiki/> as in
" foo\n \n <nowiki/>".
