Thanks for the heads up, it's already in the next perlpod.pod.

    E<escape>   An HTML escape
		    E<lt>		A literal <
		    E<gt>		A literal >
		    (these are optional except in other interior
		     sequences and when preceded by a capital letter)
		    E<nnn>		Character number nnn.

Porters, note this doesn't actually mention that the HTML entity names
are valid, here's a patch.  It also change E<nnn> to use only one n, as
none of the translators care how many digits the number has.  It also
fixes numeric escapes in pod2html.
