First, it seems to me cleaner to write an XML renderer that can standalone, and then write separate code to enable the standalone Info to choose whether to use its current renderer or the new one. Second, you could write code to enable GNU Emacs to run a standalone XML renderer, the way it now runs W3M mode -- the advantage of this is that more people would test the standalone XML renderer than they would if it only worked outside of Emacs. Third, ... I don't know whether this is readily possible, but it looks to me to be a good idea ... you could add a standalone XML renderer to Mozilla and related browsers. -- Robert J.
