Comment:
For PRE element

"In the HTML syntax, a leading newline character immediately following the pre
element start tag is stripped."

The same should hold true for code also, when use inside a pre (<pre><code>
my code
</code></pre>)

If not in the spec, could you add it?

Reason: same as for <pre>: code readibility
