The new Pod:Parser has just been installed in blead, and about 10 pods run

No. Suport for L<name|scheme:...> was added to perlpodspec in 2009.
Pod::Simple has supported it for years; Test::Pod started officially allowing it in
v1.41, IIRC.

Best,

So, you're saying I believe the text in perlpodspec that was the
motivation for these changes should be removed, and that Pod::Parser
should revert to its old behavior of not checking for this.
Is that so?
