Not exactly. It's just not enabled by default. If you need to use 
<code>, <samp>, <dd>, <dt>, <dl>, etc. in TinyMCE, add this to the init 
array:

'theme_advanced_blockformats' => 'p,pre,code,dt,dd,samp,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6',

It seems use of "phrase" tags is not recommended, although they are not 
deprecated. The same text effects can be achieved by basic css in a more 
consistent way.
