Okay okay okay, I get your point. I won't argue with you on the
benefits on using Info vs HTML; as I said I use it myself when I feel
like using it. Some days though, I just like to browse around some
plain "dumb" HTML. And, I won't give in here, "forcing" new users to
use this (for some of them at least) "strange" Info interface when we
could also provide a link (it would not need to be the default) to
some HTML-version of the documentation, is a pity. Just because we
know Info is superior to HTML in many respect does not mean that we
should not provide an alternative.

For example, we could add a new menu item, "Read the manual online"
(or maybe "Read the HTML manual online") under the sub menu Help ->
More manuals.

I did not read this thread from the beginning so I probably should stop now...
