Is this intended as a replacement for Info format, or as another format to be used alongside it? It can't do any harm as an additional format. I am considering the potential of adding Mozilla's Javascript engine to Emacs and Lynx which would solve this problem. Although the license permits adding this to Emacs, I certainly don't want to do it.
