Subject: Why "pre" AND "code" tags in Textile Markup?

Hello list!

I use Instiki and Soks ("Soks rocks." TM by James Britt ;-)) as personal 
and working Wiki apps. Both support the Textile Markup language - which 
is a *really good* one, i think. However I don't understand why there 
are _two_ tags for code formatting in Textile. From the Textile 
reference (http://hobix.com/textile/)
--- snip ---
For example, long code blocks belong between pre and code tags. Please 
also indent your code inside the tags to be sure that all Textile 
processors out there will ignore the contents.

Why "pre" *and* "code"? If i use only one of them, the rendered wiki 
page output is identical to the output where i used both of them.
So why?

Greetings,
Andreas
