@unnumberedsubsubsec and HTML problems

The @unnumberedsubsubsec command in texinfo 4.0d erroneously produces
incorrect PDF bookmark entries at the same level as a previous
@subsection command, shifting all following bookmark entries one level
up.  I wonder whether the @unnumbered... family should produce
bookmark entries at all.

For an example, please get the groff.texinfo file from

  ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz

and process it with `texi2dvi -e --pdf groff.texinfo'.

The file is in the `doc' subdirectory; the incorrect entries in the
PDF file start with `Macro Packages -> ms -> Margin Settings'.

While we are at it, calling

  makeinfo --no-split --html groff.texinfo

doesn't produce well looking results either; if you compare the
groff.dvi with groff.html, you can see a lot of incorrect fonts.  For
example, search the string `.TH' and look at the brackets.  In HTML,
they are slanted but they should be normal (as in the DVI file).  Then
search `.PP': It shouldn't be indented.  Search for `\n-[ident]': Here
the right bracket is incorrectly slanted.

Another thing which probably is related to a bug in Netscape 6.1 on
Linux: It can't handle `%20' in references:

This fails:

  <a href="#Invoking%20groff">Invoking groff</a>

This works (I applied `s/%20/ /' on the whole file):

  <a href="#Invoking groff">Invoking groff</a>

Since the reference is already included with double quotes I think it
is redundant to use %20 at all here.  Maybe you can add an option to
output a normal space.

Finally, please add a `back' link for footnotes.
