Ok, is there a decent POD -> HTML 4.01 Strict module out there?
If the XHTML produced currently would pass a validation test, then it's
highly likely that as HTML 4.01 Strict, it would also pass (provided one
removes the ' />' style tag-endings from things like '<br>', etc.
However, I know that CGI.pm (which IIRC is part of the core) is
perfectly capable of producing clean well-formed html, (though the
default !DOCTYPE used by it is HTML 4.01 Transitional) through its
function-oriented interface. (which in a quite nifty fashion, has the
added benefit of *looking* almost like html, making it far easier to
debug, too.)
I've had this itch to rip Pod::Html to shreds for a while now, and
refactor it to do the job more cleanly. Would anyone object to my taking
a whack at it?
