CODE is still the semantically correct element to wrap around this
type of content, though...

Presentational, indeed...why not something like (provided your
code always starts from line 1, as support for CSS driven
OL numbering other than the default seems a bit flaky, still)

<ol>
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;?php</li>
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function rowNumber($i)</li>
...
</ol>

or even (if we're a bit pedantic)

<ol>
<li><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;?php</code></li>
<li><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></li>
<li><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function rowNumber($i)</code></li>
...
</ol>
