Update:Actually the idea below is an argument against having a space, I got confused about what the desired spelling was.
I don't know if this is the thinking behind it or not but search engines will index "perl6" differently to "perl 6". People searching for "perl 6" without quoting it in the search query will get pages that mention "perl" and "6" and unfortunately will probably not get pages with "perl6".
That said I think they're fighting an unwinnable battle, you may as well try get those ignorant Americans to spell "colour" and "centre" correctly :-).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
