BTW, I noticed now it is a texinfo source, we don't want to change the
format of that generated HTML! :)

Sure, we can do that.  But it is work that it is not really essential, so it
is not really done right now :)  I agree it should be done (maybe a bit
later, when we stabilize the structure?  I am not sure it is finalized yet).

My main idea was to avoid taking the short cut if there is a proper way to
do it.  So we should ask Wolfgang first (he doesn't seem to be reading the
list, does he?).  Although I applaud your goal to make it easier for others
to find information, I think our priority should be slightly different: to
integrate where integration makes sense.  Linking will achieve what you want
to do, but it would not make Wolfgang's work a part of the GNU Hurd, while
decreasing the incentive to actually perform the integration properly.  Over
long, this will harm us.

Thanks,
Marcus
