Users might want to highlight the buffer name and the info node name with different faces. There are an unlimited range of features that users "might want to" use, but we certainly don't want to add them all. So that's not a basis for making this decision. In the previous messages you said that `mode-line-buffer' is a good name for a face used only to highlight buffer names. So let's add this face and also `info-mode-line-node' which by default will inherit from `mode-line-buffer'. I'd prefer to add one face rather than two. If lots of users ask for that distinction, we can oblige them later.
