I like xml-parse-file approach, but I doubt that xml-parse-file can be fixed to
parse non-well-formed XML.
After fixing bugs in makeinfo we can achieve the state when Texinfo XML
output of makeinfo is well-formed, so we could completely rely on
correctness of its output, and use xml-parse-file.
Using XML structures from xml-parse-file is very different approach from using
text-based Info files and poses many interesting problems. For example,
how to search manuals for a regexp. One solution is to traverse the XML tree
and to match its text elements. But what to do with text split between different
XML elements? Another solution is to search a regexp in the rendered text
of all nodes.
