This one is already supported:

(Unless I misunderstand what is meant by that.)
However, I don't understand why these features are put forward before
much more basic ones. As I understand Richard's request, he would
like to do everything we can do in Texinfo, but with WYSIWYG display,
have a capability to export that in several formats, and be able to
print it from Emacs. Why not start with these modest features?
