I was wondering if it was still possible to reconsider this decision. In
addition to the previous motivations (helping spec authors, programming
bloggers, etc), there's a growing trend to move processing from the server to
the client, which requires more flexible code input. 

For example, there are several popular JavaScript libraries (Showdown.js,
Marked, etc) for converting Markdown into HTML directly in the browser, and
some use direct HTML code instead of user input. See for example:

http://strapdownjs.com

StackOverflow is an prominent example of a client-side consumer of these
libraries.

If not <xmp>, perhaps we can re-think a solution - XML has one, so maybe HTML
should too? (Particularly given all the motivations/use cases above).
