Now, makeinfo directly output SXML, though, so you can use that.
Although the timing differences are eloquent...

In contrast with Karl, I am not that afraid of other parsers, as long as
they check their results against makeinfo results from time to time to
be sure that the makeinfo result is considered as the reference to avoid
fragmentation.
