You'd need to take this up with the texinfo and texi2html people.
If they decide to do this, I wouldn't object, but I have a feeling
that this would cause problems. They're in a much better position
to judge this, though.

It may or may not work; you'd need to be careful about macros.
Particuarly in using the new macro inside other macros and
vice-versa. Call it 2 hours of investigation.
And then we still return to the problem of texi2html not
respecting @w{}. I'd say that fixing that would be another 2-3
hours.
Is it worth spending 5 hours on this? My intuition is "no", but
if somebody feels strongly about it, they're welcome to go ahead.
I'd rank it as Low or even Postponed priority.
Cheers,
