I didn't mean to fix the whole world ;-)  I was talking only about the
following:

For these "misfeatures", doing this:

  (setq Info-hide-note-references nil)
  (setq Info-fontify-visited-nodes nil)

followed by "M-x font-lock-mode RET" stops Emacs from doing everything
you mentioned.

What other "fontish" annoyances do you see in Info in the current
Emacs?
