+1 on having tables in POD in general.
The following is an observation, rather than a negative vote:
This proposal is inconsistent with the paragraph nature of POD - we end up
with "rectangular POD", where paragraph formatting directives are embedded
within visual sections of the markup rather than starting at the beginning
of each line:
| B<Header 1> | B<Header 2>
|
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
|=over 4 |

|=item * C<$x> - is a variable |=for html <img src="

| |
|
|=back |

As such, I think it'll be a mess - for authors and toolchain
implementations alike - and we'll end up wishing we'd stuck with markdown.
A paragraph-based table definition would be tedious to write and hard to
visualise, but would be more in the spirit of the existing POD definition.
