no deprecation warning for Lsection
I was reading podspec, and saw this Previous versions of perlpod allowed for a Lsection syntax (as in LObject Attributes), which was not easily distinguishable from Lname syntax and for Lsection which was only slightly less ambiguous. This syntax is no longer in the specification, and has been replaced by the L/section syntax (where the slash was formerly optional). Pod parsers should tolerate the Lsection syntax, for a while at least. The suggested heuristic for distinguishing Lsection from Lname is that if it contains any whitespace, it's a section. Pod processors should warn about this being deprecated syntax. I notice that perldoc does not warn on this being deprecated. Is this by design?

For example, perlfunc uses =item's for all its functions. It'd be straight-forward to add it to the XHML output if someone wanted to hack it in. Maybe turn it on or off via an attribute. Probably should at least be submitted as a ticket to bug-pod-sim...@rt.cpan.org. Best, David
