RCS keyword protection with @w{$} does not work for plaintext

[Yavor Doganov]

The Texinfo manual says:

,---- (texinfo)w ----
|   You can also use address@hidden' to avoid unwanted keyword expansion in 
source
| control systems.  For example, to literally write $Id$ in your
| document, use address@hidden'.
`--------------------

This is exactly the trick I'm using, but I was surprised to discover
today that it works fine for HTML (for example [1]) but in the the
plaintext document it is literally $Date$ so the keyword expands when
committed in a CVS repository.

It seems there's nothing that could be done here...

Should this paragraph in the manual be updated with this information,
or this explanation is supposed to be only about the .texi?
