Yes, there are workarounds. My entire point is that people choose code formatting as a workaround, and that isn't viable. We really ought to fix the problem, rather than complain every time someone uses the wrong workaround. The latter isn't a scalable or effective solution. HN has a wonderfully succinct amount of markup, but it's really lacking in this one particular area.
