Well, its an inline element for a start. That sort of white space
handling is generally reserved for blocks, and if <code> became a
block it would throw my nested <code> technique right off.

I also use small fragments of code in the middle of normal paragraphs.

e.g. <p>The <code>&lt;p></code> element etc etc
