Let me make a concrete proposal:

Redefine RETURN in Info-mode to be just a shortcut for "m RETURN".  In
other words, the only difference between RETURN and m would be that if
m has an interactive default, then RETURN accepts it without querying.
This would leave the behavior of RETURN unchanged in all situations
where it currently is useful, intuitive or non-confusing.  It would
also provide for the intuitive selection in the situations I referred
to in my previous posting.  If it is impossible to figure out which
node the user really wants, then, rather than info making a completely
wild guess, as it currently does, the user would be alerted to that
fact with

Menu item:

appearing in the echo area.

Sincerely,

Luc.
