The trouble with pretending that an in-line <pre> is actually an inline text is this:

I'm going to have to read up on the fine points between "inline" tags and "block" tags, but that one strikes me as a bit of both.
A quick note on how I see <pre>:
- <nowiki> turns off parsing, but renders normally
- A space-indented block renders as <pre> but parses normally (at the
mediawiki level)
<pre> renders as <pre> *and* turns off parsing.
- <tt> renders sort of like <pre>, but the browser parses it normally (I think)
So if inline <pre> is weird from a rendering point of view, how should it parse? Just like <nowiki>?
That was my perception, yes: "they really meant "nowiki"."
