Hey, I think this is a great idea: replace the "(emacs)Title"
syntax with a URL.  When passed to Info, these URL would be redirected
to the local Info pages.

The main downside is that those URLs would take up more space.  But the
upside is not just greater exposure of our HTML manuals to search
engines, but also the removal of the ad-hoc (info "(emacs)Title") syntax.
