Why be so aggressive? Nic's work is nice and I think the www.gnu.org manuals would gain by using/developping further such a setup. But this is largely unrelated to the "inside Emacs manual browsing", because there's no way Emacs will be able to render this kind of HTML+Javascript efficiently any time soon, I think. So, Nic's work is not competing against info.el, and it's actually a work that tends to vote in favor of keeping Texinfo as the source documentation format. Stefan
