I can only agree.

A few more things though. I like the idea of a generic tag but what's the 
difference between having a generic code that follow the  "G<type..." and a 
tag following this format "type<..."

Maybe saying that anything that looks like "[[:alpha]]<" is a code is even 
more generic.

What is important is a way to handle the tags in a standard way. The first 
step would be to define a namespace where the tag handlers should reside 
Pod::Code::Handler::*. 

I wouldn't mind a generic pod renderer that load code rendering modules 
dynamically.

As for the current code (I, C, L, ...) they become just line any another code.

Obviously I  don't want this to become HTML with css :)
