Hey All,

Anyone know if the undocumented `fullstop_space_harden` attribute of 
Pod::Simple is used? I see it in 
[Pod::Text](http://kobesearch.cpan.org/htdocs/podlators/Pod/Text.pm.html), but 
since there is no non-breaking space in ASCII, it seems inappropriate in a lot 
of situations. It also looks like Pod::Text prefers the `preserve_whitespace` 
attribute, which has been in Pod::Simple since 3.03 (Nov 11, 2005). The current 
implementation of `fullstop_space_harden` also causes problems with Perl 5.11, 
I'm told.

So I'm wondering what to do with this attribute. Can we kill it off? Can 
Pod::Text be modified to require Pod::Simple 3.03 and not use 
`fullstop_space_harden` anymore?

If for some reason the answer is "no," then how can `fullstop_space_harden` be 
fixed to work properly with all character sets?

Thanks,

David
