Maybe not very many books need those tags, but they are part of the standard.

Yeah... like JSWolf said, <pre> is broken on many real life ereaders. In many cases, the text scrolls right off the end of the screen (especially with larger font sizes).
And remember:
- There are very skinny/small devices too (cell phones).
- Many devices don't even have touch.
Any sort of fancy CSS3 scrollbars don't work.
So many of the other solutions online try to use Javascript to help line breaking (displaying indented arrows, numbering lines, etc.)... can't rely on that in ebooks either.
