I like the changes, but on principle, given the feature freeze, I
think these ought to wait until 5.13 unless all the Pod tools in core
already implement them.  If they are implemented, great, then this is
just harmonizing docs with tools.  Otherwise, the spec tells people
that something is legal that they can't actually use yet, which isn't
user friendly.
