I am working on technical documents in general. Man pages happen to be a particular example that I (and you) are quite familiar with. Sure, the source of the man page as POD is easy to pick these out from. Compiled man pages, or man translated to HTML, LaTeX or PDF would not have the POD markers in it any more. But a person can also find Perl in engineering and science articles, and POD won't be present there. We might see text similar to: "The following Perl program will ..." in the text, which at least tells us that Perl is present in the document.
But I want to take out the jargon (Perl in this instance), so that I can analyze the prose. At a minimum for spelling.
