I was always told to read the info pages using the 'info' command. And IMHO the 'info' navigation plain sucks. We are not going to distribute a HYP, DOC and manpage for the 'info' command and binaries of 'INFO.TOS' and 'INFO.EXE' (and something for the Mac), are we? :-) HTML is far more accessible and generally more intuitive and less scary for users than the other options.
