When I run doc/texi2html using makeinfo version 4.2 I get the same
problems that are listed above.
The texinfo documentation says "The HTML generated is mostly standard
(i.e., HTML 2.0, RFC-1866)." It looks like we should use different
headers for html files generated by makeinfo, and don't include the
compliance claim in the footer.
