HTML browsers don't ignore anything, they just don't have commands to
look up menus generated for indices, and don't have search commands
that look up entire documents, not only single pages.

I may be forgetting something, but in general I don't think there's
some Texinfo markup we don't put into HTML as we do into Info format.
