That's a good idea!

Good idea. Especially since the TOC currently does NOT include any link to the 
Top node!

Oops, yes, the NR and the IR have a title that really doesn't tell you a lot!
That's something that needs to be changed in the .tely file.

The AU and the LM do not use proper headline style (i.e. capitalized words).

Yes, see my other post. That would be really useful and it's easy to 
implement. It's debatable, though, where to place this link.


I've added your suggestions to my texi2html-docs issues page, so they don't 
get lost:
