L<> should be used for URLs (they're a link, after all).  I wasn't aware
there was any markup used for e-mail addresses.  I do think explaining F<>
is worthwhile; after all, the pod2man man page mentions it explicitly.

This should be =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE to fit what's done elsewhere,
and it comes after AUTHOR so that it's the last thing in the man page
except for HISTORY if any.  See the pod2man man page for the section
ordering.
