Actually, it has to do with how reST does "literals", which is some of the  
most braindead HTML I have seen in a long time.

Compare the output from STX literals:

<code>test text</code>

…with the output from reST literals:

<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">test</span> <span  
class="pre">text</span></tt></p>

Insane. Can you say "tag junk"?

I'd like us to fix the HTML rendering of reST instead, if you guys want to  
continue using it (I don't like reST, but that's a personal preference).
