It's easier to use '|' since it's very similar to L<>,
But any other separator is fine with me, will '=' be OK, or '#'? Any 
better ideas? I still prefer '|'...

Not completely implemented, yes. but the earlier things get into the 
perlpodspec the earlier they will be implemented. Even if not supported 
by all tools yet, I prefer to use a to-be-used markup syntax in first 
place. For example once U<> goes in I'll add a support for it in 
Pod::POM and can patch Pod::Html to handle U<> in 5.8.0.
