These pages are generated by "makeinfo 4.0b" - the only serious error
is this kind of error:

<h2><a name="TOC0">Target specification</h2>
                                       ^

       Error: end tag for "A" omitted; possible causes include a
       missing end tag, improper nesting of elements, or use of an
       element where it is not allowed

Let's report this to the makeinfo authors (CC'ed - note reply-to!):

Hi, makeinfo authors,

makeinfo generates wrong HTML, it doesn't close tags (see above).
