If we were to use a web browser internally in Emacs to look at the

Like I said, I no clear idea what all y'all are after here.  I think
Info works just fine inside of Emacs, and I see no particular reason to
move to anything else.

Moving to HTML might offer more flexible rendering, though, and I can
sort of see some slight advantages to having the same files in Emacs as
on the web, but, like, meh.
