This work may have already been done by the texinfo
developers; I told them about it some months ago.  IIRC, the @w
trick works for info and pdf, and the html version is fixed
in the texinfo sources, but I don't think they've released a
stable version that includes that change, and I didn't have
time to go learn CVS.
