I was thinking of it for the browser, since PostScript is already
distributed for printing.

I also like the plain ASCII with chapter/section numbers and change
bars, which is why I distribute it, but if nobody else wants it...

The hyperlinks at the moment are between chapters and sections and
configuration options (each config option in a separate node). Existing
cross-references are preserved, but by section name rather than number
(since Texinfo doesn't number sections).

I don't use Tex myself. I do want to continue to distribute PostScript
which uses native fonts.
I have put a copy of the current experiment in
ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/experimental.spec.texinfo.gz
so that anyone who feels moved to take a look and comment can do so.
