Re: 5-arg xref to Top w/o 3rd arg

    But what if the user really wants to refer to the Top node?

It seems highly improbable to me that one would ever want to do that in
the five-arg form, because the Top node doesn't exist in the printed
manual.  (A bad convention, IMHO, but it's the one Texinfo manuals have
followed since day one.)

I know it does in HTML.  So if by some strange chance someone wants to
refer to that specifically, they can use the configuration variable you
introduced.

Thanks,
Karl
