encodings in Pod::Simple

Oop, one more assumption I'd like to be able to make:

* Unless a Pod file starts with a BOM, the Pod processor will assume that 
it's in Latin-1 or UTF8, unless/until there's an =encoding directive 
seen.  So if you're writing a Pod file in any other encoding, you /must/ 
have an =encoding line.  So if I were writing a Pod file in Russian, my 
first Pod line would have to be "=encoding cp1251".

Is that sane?
