If we are after an Emacs-only solution, then how about teaching Emacs to detect the uses of "*note" that don't need to be converted to "see", but can instead be converted to nothing? It's just a matter of the grammar and syntax of the surrounding text, right? As an alternative, how about customizing Info-hide-note-references to the value 'hide', perhaps it gives better results than the default t?
