For HTML/PDF, I think that this is up to the team that writes the CSS.  The left side of the box will be positioned *relative* to the enclosing block, but that relative size might be negative if you have line numbers.  This is a detail that we would run down in a more full-featured prototype.

For the text format, I'm not sure; I could be talked into either way.  The nice thing about the line numbers is that you could tell much more easily where the sourcecode block stopped.
