No, because you can have <img> inside a <div> but not inside a <pre>.

This is my situation:

<pre>
Some formatted text
with a smiley <img src="smiley.png"> in the middle.
</pre>

That is not valid HTML.  I changed it to

<div style="white-space: pre; font-family: monospace">
Some formatted text
with a smiley <img src="smiley.png"> in the middle.
</div>

That validates against the HTML4 DTD, but Lynx doesn't render it correctly.
