The format texinfo uses is intentionally strict to give a uniform
appearance for all manuals.

For normal LaTeX documents I fully agree that the `standard' class
files are extremely ugly -- they won't be changed for backwards
compatibility.  The LaTeX team recommends to use other packages.  For
example, my favourite class (especially for German) is `koma-script'.
