There are a few problems.  I noticed the <hr> elements, which are not
well-formed XML.  That can be easily fixed by writing them as
  <hr />

Even better: Get rid of the <hr> elements, and achieve the effect by styling.
Giving each node a bottom margin seems the simplest way to achieve that.

Probably, as long as the output doesn't degrade too badly on
older browsers.

One idea I had:
--html produced html that works on older brosers.
--xhtml produces the xhtml syntax with html5 additions

Distributions and packagers would use --xhtml (once info format
is made obsolete).
