That is correct.

http://aamcf.co.uk/html/ has reference material on all XHTML 1.0 elements, 
showing which elements can contain what. It's produced automatically from 
the DTDs and I find it is a useful reference.

Well, you shouldn't be using the font element any more. Use CSS. Rules like

pre {
         font-family: arial, san-serif;
         font-size: 200%
}

should do what you want.
