Well, texinfo *does* support some HTML-like constructs that allow complex 
pages to be built with links and chapters and so forth. I also think that 
DocBook supports exporting to texinfo, so it's easy to create HTML, 
texinfo, and probably some other formats from the same source.

The interface still sucks, but there's at least some logic behind using
the format.

Sen. Orrin Hatch thinks destroying private property to ensure bigger
campaign contributions from media cartels is "good politics." Let your
senators know that supporting corporate vigilantes will bite them in
the political posterior next election day.
