I'd say it depends. If only the line breaks matter, then use <code>P</code> with <code>BR</code>s in them. If all whitespace has meaning, use <code>PRE</code>.
To tell you the truth, I'm beginning to interpret words like 'purist' and 'zealot' as compliments now, since they seem to be used as the opposite of 'lazy and ignorant'. 🙂
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing well.
It's easy to go over the top, though. There has to be a foundation of realism at all times.

I was hoping that addressing the post to purists would generate a reply from you… 🙂

Oh, definitely, it's a thin ledge to walk on.
But, in this case at least, it was meant as someone who actually cares about how things should be. 🙂
