Interesting.

lib/XML/LibXML/Element.pod has

This function tests if the named attribute is set for the node. If the
attribute is specified, TRUE (1) will be returned, otherwise the return value
is FALSE (0).

`perldoc lib/XML/LibXML/Element.pod' renders this as

        This function tests if the named attribute is set for the node. If the
        attribute is specified, TRUE (1) will be returned, otherwise the
        return value is FALSE (0).

`pod2man lib/XML/LibXML/Element.pod | man -l -' shows
           This function tests if the named attribute is set for the node. If the attribute is specified, TRUE \fIs0(1) will be returned,
           otherwise the return value is FALSE \fIs0(0).
