What if you just write "This is the LilyPond website" ?  I mean, does
it really need to be "this file doucments xyz" ?  That sounds like a
really weird (and stupid) requirement of for texinfo or info or
whatever, if it's true.

Also, I don't see any changes to web.tely since 2010-02-27, so this
can't be the reason that "make install" stopped working for some
people.  Was it the translation changes to GNUmakefile ?  I can't see
anything weird there.

In a comment at the top of every page, so admittedly not in any visible place.

We decided to produce docs in all output formats.  The website
includes some important material, such as the overview of manuals,
contact information, and bug report guidelines.  People browsing the
docs in info should have that knowledge at their disposal.
That decision was 12 months ago; the debate will not be reopened now.
