But I wasn't responding to the main discussion (of whether to replace Info). I just responded to the side discussion (for which you created a new subject line) of the names/syntax used for the UI for Info.

But in my original message, I proposed a solution that provides exactly what you're asking for (a single name that works in both web browsers and Info browsers), by using redirects to the HTML or Info page (each of which has its own name). I explained how it would work, and I think it covers all the issues raised in this subthread about how these names should work.
