I never understand the advantage. texi2html doesn't actually preserve
all the information from the Texinfo source, though it now deals
better with the linkage information. (I can't remember if the Texinfo
4 version of makeinfo will do any better.)
Regardless, is there any HTML browser that provides the relevant
functionality (per the Info readers)? Emacs/W3 could without great
effort, but doing `Info-search' correctly in split documents would
presumably be slow.
