I have to admit that the extra spacing is bothering me a little bit  
too. There are times when it just doesn't look that good to have a  
full half-inch separating code and text that describes what's going  
on. I don't know if two code block types are necessary, but I would  
be happy with consistent (relatively small 1/4 inch? smaller?) space  
between the code and text. And tables and text. And pre-formatted  
text and text. And headings and text. And headings and code/ 
preformatted text/tables :)
