Yes, but (unless I'm confused) pod2html doesn't yet use Pod::Simple, so
the changes wouldn't actually work for translation into HTML, right?

I know there is Pod::Simple::HTML, but the documentation is littered with
TODO markers, and there doesn't seem to be a commandline interface for it,
so I always assumed it isn't ready for real use yet (and the Pod::Simple
README also confirms that isn't what it should be yet).
