In my info add-on package `rs-info.el'[1], I do it the other way
round: The command `rs-info-insert-current-node' inserts suitable
output formats depending on the major mode (`rs-info-style-alist').
Or more precisely, the default format which may be overridden
interactively depends on the major mode.

Fine with me.  Any objection against installing such a change now?

Bye, Reiner.
