Well, depends on what you mean by backwards compatible. With option
#3 I can take the existing pod-tools (e.g., perldoc) and the output is
the same. With option #4 I'd get bunches of "Unrecognized pod
directive" messages and possibly errant output. But that's just a nit
I guess. I don't know who or if anyone trafficks in PODs (other than
whales and peas ;-).
I vote for #4 if we are willing to live with the above caveat, #3 if
not.
