That looks nice and would certainly fine with me.

Using CSS is fine too for deffn and friends instead of anchor. But this
seems hard because I don't have a good way of figuring out where to put

If that is the case could you try testing it after running "export TEXINFO_XS_PARSER=0"? Is there any way for me to try this without building Octave itself? Is the Octave documentation available to download in Texinfo format somewhere?
Octave manual not buildable with texinfo from git master
Hello list, GNU Octave uses a quite complex build system for the documention, so I am not sure if this issue should be filed here or in the octave bug tracker. It works with texinfo 6.7, but fails with texinfo from master. I think this is related to the fact brought up in the thread with title "Testing lots of Texinfo files".
