[People not reading the commit list should note that this wasn't the final

I see you've taken out the XXX. However, isn't the plan for Perl 6 that all
the POD is going to be available as <DATA>-like streams? Whereas whitespace
does get eaten. So surely they should be 2 different rules?
(Or does whitespace get eaten? Is Larry planning a MAD-like mode for Perl 6
where it can regurgitate the entire program source code in byte-for-byte
perfection?)
