My thoughts on the second issue are that we could modify Pod::Simple to
'whine' if it sees non-ASCII bytes but no =encoding.  This in turn would
cause Test::Pod to pick up the error and help people fix it.


I would be in favor of that.



FYI, This test is already in the checks that are run on the pods that 
are included with the perl core

1. If the =item tags are numeric, ignore the value of the numbers and just
renumber them.  This is similar to what other markup languages do, but
it has the significant problem of making it a bit more annoying to
document, say, a list of exit status returns, where several numbers are
skipped.
