Should Pod::Simple test for repeated elements in a <dl>

Ticket https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=116252
concerns pod that used hypens for what was meant to be a nested bullet 
list so that the nested items would not be confused with the outer ones.

The problem is that the pod code interpreted these as definition lists, 
with the same definition multiply used.  This looks fine when formatted 
in plain text, but is clearly wrong in html, e.g. http://bit.ly/TD3atM

I'm thinking that this should be checked for by Pod::Simple.  What do 
others think?
