   So let's make Info documents look and feel modern, like HTML does,
   without losing any of the wonderful features HTML lacks.

You are right.

The problem is, what is meant by `look and feel modern'?  To me HTML
looks more than two decades old, even though I know it is not.  This
is because output expressions do not distinguish between references to
the same document on a different page and distant documents, and
because I cannot go to next, previous, and subsequent nodes readily,
or do regular expression searches through a multi-page document.

It looks to me that HTML was designed by someone who thought everyone
would always be on one planet on the same, fast local area network.

    I don't see how hiding node names could be a step in the wrong
    direction.

Because node names tell you where a file is located.  Sometimes a file
on on someone else's local area network, and your connection to it is
slow or non-existant.
