Because it would take a lot of work to alter the info reader to make
that happen.
And users would then be tied to emacs for doing it... The current
proposal offers at least as much flexibility as current Info
publishing systems:
- it will be available to browsers
- it will therefore be available to emacs
- it will also therefore be available on the console (links)
