The result is indeed interesting.  Does it look good in direct

I don't think so.

The only problem I see is that the Info output is certainly ugly.

However, I'd be in favor of removing the warning as the result is likely
to be clean in other formats and I think that if the output is ugly in
Info it is because of limitations of the Info format.
