pod link anchors mangled (spaces to dashes)

pod link anchors mangled (spaces to dashes)
For example
https://metacpan.org/pod/Marpa::R2::Semantics#Reserved-action-names
should be
https://metacpan.org/pod/Marpa::R2::Semantics#Reserved%20action%20names
because the way you link to it in pod is
L<Marpa::R2::Semantics/Reserved action names>
and what gets displayed in the browser is
Reserved action names
simply escapeHTML($anchorname) and do no other processing to it, and users
can copy/paste append to url and share,
no converting nonword chars to dashes, no viewsource or other browser tricks required

Thanks for listening, I apologize if this topic was opened before, I did search for it

The html is produced by Pod::Simple::XHTML:

This method turns an arbitrary string into a valid XHTML ID attribute
value. The rules enforced, following
<http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/a/aa031707.htm>, are:

*   The id must start with a letter (a-z or A-Z)

*   All subsequent characters can be letters, numbers (0-9), hyphens (-),
    underscores (_), colons (:), and periods (.).

*   The final character can't be a hyphen, colon, or period. URLs ending
    with these characters, while allowed by XHTML, can be awkward to
    extract from plain text.

Any fixes for this need to be made to Pod::Simple::XHTML - closing ticket
