Thank you for the clarification. Wouldn't it be even clearer (and
simpler) to say that makeinfo just never needs those pointers? You
wrote:
TeX doesn't need them. These pointers are there to allow traversing
the on-line manual, and are not needed for non on-line versions.
So, given that makeinfo can add the info itself when needed, is there
really ever any need for listing the node pointers explicitly at all?
