Subject: Add XHTML Output
I'd love to see a variation on Pod::Simple::HTML called Pod::Simple::XHTML. All it needs to be, really, is something that outputs much cleaner HTML than that output by P::S::H. For example, it wouldn't have the "<p class="pad"></p>" tag stuck everywhere, would be consistent in using q{'} or q{"} for attributes (I prefer q{"}), would just rely on HTML::Entities to encode entities, instead of its own whacked-out encodings, replace "name" attributes with "id", and so on. See this example validated against XHTML 1.1 for details on the sorts of things that would need cleaning up: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bricolage.cc%2Fdocs%2Fcurrent%2Fapi%2FBric.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=XHTML+1.1 Thanks!
