It is the page author who rules the layout. If she wants code blocks to
be indented, adding |pre { margin-left: 2em; }| to the stylesheet is the
trivial solution.

Who says that <div style="padding-left:2em"> cannot? Using <div> instead
of semantically descriptive elements should be considered equally bad.
Btw, that's also why the style attribute was deprecated in XHTML 1.1.
HTML4 says "For optimal flexibility, authors should define styles in
external style sheets."
