My idea of the goal is 1. A spec for HTML-Info format, saying how the Info data such as menus, indices and node structure navigation are represented in HTML. 2. Something to generate HTML-Info from Texinfo input. 3. An extension for Firefox to implement Info-style commands using that data. 4. Emacs Lisp code to browse HTML-Info files. #1 is conceptually prior to the others, but I would develop it and #3 together. Any comments on this plan?
