How important is this consideration? In other words, how serious of a breakage are we risking? For example, if it is just that the index entries won't work in other info readers, that seems acceptable to me. > Also, most of the keywords are, or should be, found by using their > "family name".

For example, I might not know which section ":align-to" belongs to, which means that the fastest way for me to find out is to search the entire manual. This is less convenient than typing 'i :a TAB'.
