If Texinfo markup and the way the result looks in Info are the
problem, then tell me how would you like it to look in Info, and I
will suggest the markup.
Wrt rest, I will go with anything you two agree upon. I only tried to
suggest alternatives from the documentation readability POV, not
because I know more about the subject matter than you do. IOW, my
comments were stylistic, not about the essence.
