I did look around to see if this Idea had been mentioned before, and the closest thing I could find was "ASCII Annos" (linked).
But!
Why only in annotations? I personally have done enough attempts at ASCII sketches in the main text of an Idea to know that having a fixed font available in more
places than the annotations would be very convenient.
Meanwhile, standard HTML includes a tag specifically to allow a web page, usually expected to be presented to the user in a proportional font, to have a block of fixed-font text. The "code" tag does that.
I see in an another Idea, "Carriage return as [HTML line break]" (linked), [Bristolz] posted an annotation indicated that "a few oddball things are supported" -- [jutta], can we have a list of supported HTML tags on the Help page, please? (Even if the "code" tag never becomes one of them?) Thank you!

This is a test.
This is only a test.
If this text was really displayed in a fixed font,
it would be obvious.
And the HTML tags before and after
this block of text would not be visible.

About the HTML "code" tag
http://www.htmlquic...ence/tags/code.html
Computer code is often written in a fixed font, and there are excellent reasons for that, but those reasons are mostly outside the scope of this Idea. [Vernon, Jan 25 2011, last modified Jan 26 2011]

The data tables in this Idea would benefit greatly from being presented in a fixed font. [Vernon, Jan 26 2011]

In the some of the better newspapers, next to the
crossword, there is a blank box which you can use for
doodling in. A suitably coded box on the otherwise excellent
HB format, coupled with a Chinagraph pencil, would answer
many of the needs here identified. |

You can also doodle, scan and upload to Imageshack or whitherever. And i say yet again, i want <sub> and <sup> more than any of this. |

Hold on though: isn't the low-res version monospace? |

Ah: apparently not. Looking at it now. How about Lynx though? |
