See my other reply for an issue with <code> vs. DB 4.2.

Other than that, I agree <code> may be the wrong semantics, so <literal> 
is the most generic / valid element to use. Let's just make sure it all 
renders the way we want. (I noticed some places where a function 
synopsis wasn't rendered the same as elsewhere, i.e. monotype on gray 
background; I'll have to find it again and see what is causing it...)

Thanks,
		Stefan
