The sounds reasonable. The one thing I'd add is that maybe C<srand> doesn't need to exist: if the docs say to use "$*RAND.seed = ..." then the various localization/customization options almost don't need to be mentioned (except to define the required role that $*RAND must do for C<rand> and C<pick> to work).
