The texinfo tool that generates HTML has the ToC, so really the correct 
solution here would be for the HTML output to include the 'target' 
attributes directly.  JS can then determine internal links by the 
absence of that attribute and the features at least somewhat gracefully 
degrade if JS is disabled.

This leads to another question:  are the Info manuals to be taken as a 
collective whole?  Phrased differently, should a link to a node in a 
different Info manual be considered "external"?
