Sure, I love Info for all those things and more.
But what does it have to do with whether or not node names are shown
prominently in menus and xrefs ?
I've been benefitting from the structure offered by Texinfo,
I've been benefitting from the whole-document-regexp-search,
.... and all this without ever worrying about node names.

PS: BTW, node names do not reflect any of the structure either.
