How about adding some modifiers to the PseudoPod tags, such as:

What if you want a cell to span two columns and two rows at the same time?

That was a decision made by the early developers of PseudoPod, and I

However, in thinking about this some more, I think we need to be able to at

But they'er not Pod, are they?

Yes, but my assumption is that the discussion here is about inventing POD

I don't know how to put a table into a pod. One can simulate it by
using as-is formatting, but it's not very good.
The documentation in perlpod seems to indicate that in

It's worse than I thought. I ran some experiments. It appears that the

I always just include pod-embedded =for tbl tables for the
