No, but
1. All the ones I supplied are already in Pod::Checker
2. Things like E<Ecirc> and E<Ograve> are already in Pod::Text and they
have codes corresponding to the HTML standard. How often is it that
\xCB works to give a Eumlaut but \xA9 does not give a copyright symbol?
(\xA9 is the HTML encoding for ©)
I honestly don't know the answer to point 2 and would be interested in
knowing the answer.
Sorry if some of these codes are not recognised. Taking E<copy> as an
example, it is valid Pod (perlpod says that HTML escapes are
supported, Pod::Checker says its okay and Pod::Html output will
display it fine) so shouldn't we be at least allowing for Pod::Text to
make a stab at the right answer?
