Lots of packages don't have manuals. Indeed, it is undesirable not to
have the Texinfo manual, but not a disaster.

I see. Well, this is ok, in terms of principles.

That would be a very good advance; but because it's difficult and
because I've seen people neglect the issue before, could you ask
the people doing this to show me the spec they want to implement?
