Isn't it possible to have both Vim-native and traditional Info key bindings?

But what about the cross-references from various places to the info.info manual? Are you going to intercept those as well? Besides, info.info is not a small manual. Does it really make sense to write a Vim-specific version of it, and then maintain it in sync with the upstream version? I wonder.
