Apart from _regexp_ searching within a node, indexing comes to mind.
And a command set for info-like navigation. Presumably proper
formatting of @multitable, though I'd have tried to make the output as
Lynx-friendly as possible. Cross-references between Texinfo
documents.
I put some notes about missing features or fixmes in the texi2html
source when I'd had more than enough of Perl but I'm not sure what was
added/changed since.
[Note that rms doesn't want to use texi2html other than as a stopgap.
Apart from anything else, its copyright is unclear.]
