    I think a better alternative would be to keep Bazaar documentation in
    a dialect of reST (or other suitable structured text) and provide a
    docutils writer to produce Texinfo from that.

Generating the Texinfo sources from some other format is fine.  The
GNU standards don't say that you need to edit manuals in Texinfo, only
that they should be available in Texinfo format.

Martin, how about it?
