In Info mode there's
e	Edit contents of selected node.
but that often 'not enabled'.
But all I wanted to do is view the source for the selected node.
Even mozilla has "view source" for HTML. So add a 'view source for
selected node' command.

What ``source'' did you want to see?  Unlike HTML, the file read by an
Info reader is (almost) what you see on the screen, at least with
text-mode display.  There's nothing too interesting to present to the
user that isn't already displayed.
