monnier+gnu/address@hidden suggests
... hide the first line by scrolling (rather than by
narrow-to-region as is currently done), so that the deep info is
readily available, although it's not annoyingly in-your-face like
it is now.
This fails the `newbie' test. Some years ago, when I first learned
about the `Info-top-node' command, I tried it. (I still use it often,
to get to the main menu.) You are suggesting that when a newbie first
looks at the beginning of an Info file, he or she not see an old style
header line in addition to its current header line ; but that when she
goes back to the beginning of an Info file, it look different from
what it was and show *two* nearly similer header lines.
This will not work. It will look like a bug. Not only that, it will
be very hard to persuade people it is not a user-interface design
mistake. It will be the kind of change that people will find wrong,
willy-nilly.
