The pre element is allowed to occur where structured inline-level
elements are allowed.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-pre
The p element is allowed to contain significant inline-level content.
Inline-level content includes structured inline-level elements.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-p
Therefore a p element can contain a pre element in XHTML.
<p>This paragraph contains a pre element
<pre>
This is some preformatted
text inside a paragraph.
</pre>
in XHTML only.</p>
That cannot occur in the HTML serialisation because <pre> must imply
</p> due to backwards compatibility constraints.
