    Do we really need the name= and node= parts?  Can't we simply delimit
    the node name with address@hidden and address@hidden (or whateveer else we 
decide to
    use as delimiters)?

Well, I don't think we `need' the param=value stuff.  It would certainly
work to use some <magicstring> as an unambiguous delimiter in the Info
output.  (Although the problem of specifying at the source level when a
node name is given via the new syntax and when in the normal one
remains.)

I just thought it would make for a cleaner and more extensible syntax if
we didn't special-case everything that comes up.  That way, there's a
chance of older versions ignoring new parameters cleanly, etc.
