For some reason you are talking only about the Info format. Please
don't forget about other formats that can be generated from Texinfo,
notably HTML and the printable formats (DVI, PDF, etc.). They all
need to work with whatever new machinery you want to use. Texinfo
cross-references (@pxref, @ref, etc.) do work in all these formats,
but in the printed manual they will produce text that is quite. And
if you will use just @ref, the printed result will look incorrect
English.
