That doesn't work well enough because many of the Texinfo directives
get lost in the Info format, and the way Texinfo markup is expressed
in Info doesn't allow mapping back to the original markup.
This has been tried before, and turned out to be unworkable.
If you are not convinced, I suggest a careful reading of the Texinfo
manual, which describes for each directive and markup how it is
translated into Info. Then try to see how you would produce the
reverse translation. You will quickly see that the translation is not
reversible.
