The anchors do solve this, believe me. The only problem with more
than one node on a file is to navigate to the right spot when you
click on a link. Anchors cause the browser to get to the right place
in this case.

I don't see what problems you envision. There are gobs of documents
out there with multiple nodes per file, each one referenced by its
anchor, and I never had any problems navigating with any of them.
Makeinfo 4.0 was producing a single HTML file with all the nodes on
it, and I'm not aware of any problems with that, either.

And I think that having the #anchor in the URL bar is not something
you should bother about. Can we meet halfway?

Sorry, I don't understand this suggestion. Could you please
elaborate?
