Not having to deal with endless HTML escapes (<, >, etc, they're all over the page!)


That's a good reason.  Although I find that sometimes I still have to
escape those in pod, too.

Not if you put these in verbatim sections. And also notice the recent thread at p5p,
Pod::POM shouldn't force us to escape <, > if it's not inside [A-Z]<...>. Which will
make it much easier to write things like $r->foo outside of verbatim blocks.


Though the drawback is that now (when Pod::POM is fixed) you can miss sequence qualifiers and leave things like <guide|guide::index> unnoticed by the POD parser.
