I did now however and it seems to work. (Though I am running the CVS version of Emacs.) To me even those *.txt files looks like they are fontified ok, but I am not sure. I am not used to man and do not know much about it. Links seems to work, but I did find a bug I believe. If you open man5/texinfo.5 and click the link "tex (1)" emacs seems to loop.
