Ideally, one could determine which links are internal by checking for an
entry in the table-of-contents. However, that is bit complicated,
mainly because sub-pages don't have access to the ToC, so it would
have to involve message sending between JavaScript contexts (no big
deal).

Comments?
The texinfo tool that generates HTML has the ToC, so really the correct
solution here would be for the HTML output to include the 'target'
attributes directly. JS can then determine internal links by the
absence of that attribute and the features at least somewhat gracefully
degrade if JS is disabled.
This leads to another question: are the Info manuals to be taken as a
collective whole? Phrased differently, should a link to a node in a
different Info manual be considered "external"?
