Do you mean that <code><b></code> should be equivalent to
<code><b></code>?
If so, they tried that with <xmp>, but that was deprecated as of HTML 4 as
it is impractical for many reasons:
- what if you actually want to include some bold text
within your code fragment (useful for syntax highlighting
for example)?

- it makes parsing difficult
- it doesn't fit in nicely with SGML rules, making validation
tricky.
