What does bother me is that POD is visual markup instead of logical markup; the difference between HTML's <I> and <EM>, <B> and <STRONG>It is a common notion (which you may or may not be demonstrating here) that semanticity is binary: either a markup language is either semantic (logical) or visual. That is a fallacy.
It is more accurate to say that a markup language can be semantic, or can be visual, with lots of grey areas inbetween. That too is a fallacy. A language can be entirely semantic, yet fail to express whole dimensions of that distinctions that you consider worth expressing.
In any case, maybe it would help if I put into perlpodspec the =extend things I've been implementing in Pod::Simple, so that you can use them. I suppose it might help if you could define code for methodnames, arguments, etc.
