Generally, with HTML, if I want to read HTML, I need a browser. Having the HTML on disk there just serves as an annoyance factor while I tell my OS to tell my browser to open the file. ( To contrast with "perldoc Foo" or <!mcpan foo> in my search bar, needing to locate an ABSPATH first is a bit annoying ) Generally that implies I have internet, and so a website ( such as metacpan ) is an ideal Go-To. I would not be opposed to HTML and PDF renditions of said policies being available, the PDF is of course more likely to be amenable for people who just want to read it on their phone/kindle/whatever. And you could, perhaps, periodically aggregate the Policy::<> stuff docs published to CPAN and format them to a single doc and potentially ship that with perl .... but I find it hard to imagine P5P wants to elevate "toolchain + CPAN policies" to "part of perl itself" level. I find it hard to imagine any of this would be integrated with perl itself, in any way, no matter how it was formatted, because a large amount of the concerns presented don't pertain to "Perl itself", but to the CPAN Ecosystem in general. -- Kent *KENTNL* - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
