It sounds, therefore, like there's a lack of process at all. It isn't
clear to me whether new additions should happen first in the actual
spec, and we expect implementors to support them, or should actual
implementations just start adding behaviours and we hope to pull them
together into a coherent standard at the end?

Since there is one specification document - being pod/perlpod.pod in
perl core itself - that would feel to be a good place to begin the
process.

Maybe we should begin by raising a PR to change that file, and hope to
get some review comment and general acceptance from people on the
implementation side before proceeding.

Would that work as a process?
