|  This is wrong. Here's the HTML 4 dtd specification for <pre>:
|
|  <!ENTITY % pre.exclusion "IMG|OBJECT|BIG|SMALL|SUB|SUP">
|
|  <!ELEMENT PRE - - (%inline;)* -(%pre.exclusion;) -- preformatted text -->
|  <!ATTLIST PRE
|    %attrs;                              -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
|
|  Which means any inline element is allowed inside <pre> except for the ones
| in pre.exclusion.

Ops. Sorry.
