Texinfo supports putting images in the manual, nowadays.
Would someone like to make an image that shows labels for the various
parts of a frame, and we could put that in the manual?

I think Info files support images at present only by converting them
to ASCII art.  So this image won't probably won't appear in a readable
way in Info.  There is no need to let that stop you--just use @iftex.

In the long run, we would like to have a way to use images
in Info files now that Emacs could display them properly.
What's needed first is a representation for the image in the file.

I am not convinced we should abolish Info files for HTML.
