(The one reference to emacs-xtra from the Emacs manual which I put in a lot earlier also uses @inforef.) I originally proposed that @inforef should refer to any manual for which there is no _published_ rather than printable version available or planned. This was rejected. Instead `(texinfo)inforef' says that it is only appropriate to refer to text inside @info or to old Info that did not have a corresponding .texi file and for which printed text can not be produced. I would say that it should be considered appropriate when used inside a manual, such as the Emacs manual, for which a published version is available and widely used, to refer to a manual without published version. Otherwise, the result could indeed be very confusing to a reader of the published version who is not familiar with Texinfo. Sincerely, Luc.
