I'm not saying these things *can't* be done with the existing structure.
However, it seems like some things would be easier with a cleaner
structure, and the needed css/js/xslt/whatever is likely to be
simpler and more maintainable if the HTML is better structured.
It does seem likely that info.js would break if we changed the html
structure. I assume it would be easy to fix, and I'd be happy to do it.
(I mainly need help with the logic in HTML.pm.)
I think this argues for doing both (adding info.js as a supported
feature, and revising the html structure) in the same texinfo release
(hopefully the next one).
