I doubt those of us who want info features (or better) are talking
about using it over a wide area network (even though the Network was
the Computer long before it was a trademark, of course).
I can't remember whether the new makeinfo will put the tree structure
info in monolithic files, but obviously it could FWIW. I wonder if
any browser other than W3 groks and could use REL/REV attributes of
<a>.

Blimey. It registers at last. But that's no help to you using the
thing to read tree-structured Texinfo output.
