The example source attempts to provide a CSS style for PRE inside CODE which
specifies that colour should be red. In fact the text displays in black in this
version of Mozilla and in at least one release each of Mozilla 1.5 and 1.4. The
text displays as expected in Microsoft Internet Exploder 6.0.2800.1106. Colour
is not the only style property lost in this construction: I discovered the
problem when attempting to specify font-family and font-size in a much larger
and more complex web page. If the style is specifed just for PRE instead of for
CODE PRE, the text displays as expected.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Mozlla, view the supplied sample URL, or any file with this source code:
<html>
<head></head>
<style type=text/css>
code pre { color: red }
</style>
<body>
<p>
<code><pre>I think this should display in red</pre></code>
</p>
</body>
</html>
2. er ....
3. That's it.
Actual Results:
The browser displayed "I think this should display in red" in black.
Expected Results:
It should, according to my understanding of the CSS rules, display it in red.

<code> can not contain <pre>, and mozilla's html parser enforces that. thus, in
the DOM tree, <pre> is not a child of the <code>, so the CSS rule does not apply.
see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1 - code can only contain
%inline; i.e:
<!ENTITY % fontstyle
"TT | I | B | BIG | SMALL">
<!ENTITY % phrase "EM | STRONG | DFN | CODE |
SAMP | KBD | VAR | CITE | ABBR | ACRONYM" >
<!ENTITY % special
"A | IMG | OBJECT | BR | SCRIPT | MAP | Q | SUB | SUP | SPAN | BDO">
<!ENTITY % formctrl "INPUT | SELECT | TEXTAREA | LABEL | BUTTON">
