I may have missed the "elsewhere".
Is there any difference between @address@hidden and @key{...}? If so, is
there any use of the former? If any question has a negative answer, then
all is good. Org can produce the former but could has well generate the
latter in this special case.
If both have a positive answer, we can generate automatically the most
common one and let users write a macro for the other case. This
situation is probably sufficiently rare it isn't much of a problem
anyway.

My TeX is a bit rusty, but, AFAIU, it defines yet another way to handle
@address@hidden This is fine, but LaTeX also provides at least two packages
dealing with keys. I have no preference, but users may disagree about
which way is better as a default. Even if we stick with the
"texinfo.tex" way, we probably need to allow tweaking the LaTeX output
somehow.

Slated typeface is /.../ markup in Org, which becomes @emph{...} when
exported to Texinfo. I'm suggesting to use _..._ markup because it is
free and fall-backs somewhat gracefully when exported to something else
than Texinfo.
Org -> LaTeX and Org -> Texinfo -> LaTeX are going to produce different
results and there is little hope they can converge at some point.
I suggest to not bother too much about this.
