Hi guys!
The version of Texinfo I have (and the current source according to
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/tree/doc/texinfo.texi) are
confusing about @url:

There is a continuous mix between @url and @uref. Eventually, it's unclear
which one is recommended. The source file says
@node @code{@@url}
@section @code{@@url}, @code{@@uref@{@var{url}[, @var{text}][,
@var{replacement}]@}}
@anchor{uref}@c old name
@findex uref
@cindex Uniform resource locator, referring to
@cindex URL, referring to
so I guess we are expected to prefer @url to @uref (according to the @c
comment), but it's not very clearly stated.
Cheers!
