@Arjan True, that is the semantically correct way. The problem is that after <pre><code> you'll get an extra line break if you start the code on the next line.

Though <pre> (currently) is styled using a fixed-width font, I'd say for code one should use <pre><code>. (Which is exactly what using the four spaces Markdown gets one. Using the four spaces also gets one automatic encoding of HTML entities such as changing <strong> into <strong>.)

Hm, I stumbled upon this while trying to correct this question. Now, If I replace <code> with <pre> it will add a line break. While this would suit in this case, there are probably cases where I want to avoid line breaks. What then?
