I.e. a link to the online HTML docs, but which the Info reader would redirect to the local (currently Info) pages. I.e. something like http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/Control-Structures or http://texinfo.org/emacs/Control-Structures [ This latter one being probably preferable so non-GNU packages can also have their place. ] Of course, we'd then have to make sure the www.gnu.org server serves the right pages at those same places. Obviously, Info uses the "(manual)Title" syntax internally all over the place, so we won't want to completely remove this syntax, but we should use the URL syntax outside of Info-mode (e.g. in docstrings).
