I don't think that the pod itself should specify _how_ the output
should look. Rather it should be giving some clues as to the nature of
the mark up. (=use RFC would specify (well I don't have a positive value)
that an L<> is not a man page.)

Another piece of input that would actully define the textual (or bit wise)
values of what markup is finally to look like.
