1. The terms "up" and "down" have the opposite meanings of the ones
commonly used in the (non-emacs) world. The info node explains that
this is for historical reasons; OK, but then, why don't we try to find
a solution? (see below)
It is not "historical reasons". This meaning is just as good
as the other meaning.
If the world has indeed converged on the other meaning then I agree
it would be good to be compatible.
