I know. The last bit is exactly what needs to be fixed. Consider:
http://perl.apache.org/preview/modperl-docs/dst_html/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Sometimes_it_Works__Sometimes_it_Doesn_t

That's not something you want to see as a title of <a href></a>

Otherwise everybody who tries to use POD for a little bit more than 
perl*.pod pages, is doomed to ugliness in resulting documents and need 
to look for workarounds.

U<> will solve this problem.
