Excellent idea. But may I suggest you perhaps might like to hold off
that discussion until next week?

@Larry had some very fruitful discussions about the long-overdue Pod
spec during YAPC::EU last week and, as a result, I plan to (finally!!!)
release a new version of S26 this week-end. I very much hope that this
new revision will satisfy The Overmeer Desiderata [1] too.
