That all sounds lovely. I've wanted this for things like Test::Tutorial and Test::FAQ and big rewrites of the MakeMaker docs. The colorization sounds like a good idea. Perhaps even the module author can "bless" portions of the user-contributed text. > PS.

I believe the proper instructions are go to http://www.annocpan.org/~YOURCPANID/ and click on the RSS link but I get the same behavior. The little RSS icon in the lower right only gives an option to subscribe to the "recent notes" feed.
