Hmm...  I'm afraid some people will go mad when this becomes the 
default.  :)

The key bindings you are proposing seem to be most similar to
those of 'links', which is not what most people use for a browser.  
In most browsers Arrow Up and Down simply scroll.  Arrow Left and 
Right scroll sideways, but as this doesn't make sense in 'info', 
those keys could instead be made synonyms of [ and ]: previous and 
next node.

To me the most useful default key binding would be somewhat like
--vi-keys with the addition of cursor-movement-scrolls=On and the 
above mapping of Arrow Left and Right.

Anyway, when implementing a different (default) key binding scheme, 
please make it configurable via a command-line/config-file option, 
so it will be easy to switch back to the traditional beviour.
