Right - but does Pod::Tree use Pod::Parser yet, or does it still redo
all that stuff on its own instead of reusing the parsing and parse-trees
of the base POD parser?

In which case it sounds like its missing some new syntax (like the
ability to use C<< $a <=> $b >>). (yet another reason why Pod::Tree
should probably use Pod::Parser ;-)
Since Pod::Parser is part of the core now and there is concerted effort
among p5p to get all the various pod2xxx translators to use the same base
parser, then if your Pod::Tree modules adds any tree-parsing capabilities
that aren't already in Pod::Parser, it would probably be most useful
for all concerned if it extended Pod::Parser instead of attempting to
replace it (assuming that you want/care for Pod::Tree to be useful to
p5p - which perhaps is an invalid assumption).
