Fixed (but untested).

Nice sensible HTML names should come from Texi2html init file.  The TODO
of the initial commit of web-gop integration in master is quite
explicit:

* HTML output: file names should be tweaked, which requires converting
  Jan's patch to texi2html script into a function in
  web-texi2html.init;

I'm sorry, I don't have time to hack texi2html.

Is this worth the effort? ;-)

You're right to mention this, but I'm not keen on getting involved into
such a standardization effort (which would include proper
internationalization support and would allow us to junk all our
workaround Python scripts including extract_texi_filenames.py) with
makeinfo implementation in Perl (current texi2html), which Jan already
explained why.

May I add

5.  Add script to generate news-front.itexi, old-news.itexi and RSS feed
from news.itexi.  I finally figured out how to convert UTF-8 text to
escaped XML (with named entities if possible), so I'm ready to move
make-news.py script from web branch and update it.

?

Best,
John
