Ok, and GML (the precursor to SGML, which in turn was precursor to
XML) has been around since 1967 and was standardized as SGML in
1978. That only proves that good ideas can take a while to catch on,
be it texinfo or generalized markup.
However, my point was not to criticize texinfo in itself. I was trying
to point that from an end-users perspective the perfectly good reasons
that the GNU project might have had could be less understandable and
that their *software* offering was not blessed with an intuitive user
interface. "man"s interface, while simple, is intuitive :)
