Hello Bob, I understand your reasononing, but there's a problem: What if other PODs refer to such a subtopic with L<yourpod/"podsubtopic 1"> Where should this link to? The one in podtopic i or ii? The (limited) syntax of L<> currently does not support such hierarchies. On the other hand, you may want to link to these POD->HTML pages from elsewhere, and there you might be able to specify the exact location, but beware - when the formatter (POD->HTML) changes, the <a name>'s might be different, and then you're lost. I'm afraid that the only viable way is to link to the "podtopic i" and "podtopic ii", and not their (ambiguous) subtopics.
