I'm not on the Module::Build list so I missed the discussion up so far, but I find one important thing missing from your specification:
There should be a field in META.yml that specifies which version of the META.yml-spec the file adheres to.
While it might be possible to deduce this from the value of 'generated_by', I think it's easier for humans and parsers if there is a dedicated field.
Perhaps something like:
=head2 meta-spec
Example:
meta-spec: <http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html> - v1.1
(Spec 1.1) [required] This field indicates the location of the version
of the F<META.yml> document specification being used along with the version number.
or should that be:
meta-spec:
url: <http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html>
version: 1.1
