My understanding is that it has been done with parallel edits.
Hence the problems you have found.  personaly I welcome your tool
and would like to see it committed somewhere.  Maybe as part of the
pod tools in the perl core along with the pmtools that have yet
AFAIK to find a real home.

We can make the style be "whatever passes _bryan_d_foy's script".
Do you think that is fair?
