In practice, you could also go another route -- and let makeinfo produce two files, a .info and a .markup file. The .info file will be identical to what we have today, while the .markup file will contain a simple list of "tagging info" for the .info file, which reflects what @-commands were used to produce each part of the .info file. If going that route, don't make it a seperate file. Instead make it something similar to the "tag table" which exists in info files already; and call it "markup table". Cheers.
