As far as I know GNOME’s Yelp is a frontend to different kinds of
documentation and it does support Info files.

That reads *info* files.  We're talking about reading *html* files.
See Gavin's original message for why we want to use html.

Isn't it more about "increase the ease of
accessing documentation, including documentation locally installed on
a user's own computer.  When a user is using a bitmapped display (e.g.
with X11), this could become the default way that they access
documentation."?

I find Yelp easy to use as a desktop user. I think it would be great to easily access info manuals or info manuals translated to docbook or mallard from the Yelp viewer. It would make GNU documentation easier to discover on the desktop.

I think Matthieu's JavaScript interface would still be useful for the HTML documentation online.
