---I confess, my bias is towards presenting code so that people who know how to read code can understand it as quickly and as completely as possible. I'm not usually trying to present snippets for them to use as given. There's at least some literature on this (notably Baecker and Marcus, Human Factors and Typography for More Readable Programs).
And, of course, if you have style sheets or reasonable control of the browser, it's trivial to turn the styled presentation into an unstyled presentation, while it's relatively difficult to go the other way.
