    My proposal is to keep the current text/plain info format as an
    internal representation in the standalone info reader. 

    The reader would then check whether a particular file is in the
    text/plain info format or in the XML format. If the former: business
    as usual. If the latter, it would convert this XML to plain/text with
    the necessary

If this method can be implemented in both the standalone reader and Emacs,
and runs fast enough, then I see no objection.
