I have implemented a slightly modified version of the first two points 
in this changeset:

http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/generate_html/ci/27af743d59986ee762f5b6f2db7445055ac16bdb/

As a result, @deftypefn and @deftypefn are converted into <dt 
class="deftypefn"> </dt> blocks, both in TexInfo 4.x and in TexInfo 5.x.

Is this ok for everyone ?
