Yes, that would be great.

I'd caught that just after attaching the files the last time (I'd been
working with a slightly out of date copy so that change to
org-export-first-sibling-p hadn't affected me).  I'd updated it in my
working copy but hadn't added the changes in my next email to the
list.

The attached version fixes that and supports @ftable and @vtable
through #+attr_texinfo before descriptive lists.  (It can also be
found at :

)

It's able to export up to level 4 headlines (chapter, section,
subsection, subsubsection), however the default is H:3 so the last is
omitted.  Nested lists do work with only a small issue I can see at
the moment, if there are no blank lines between the items in org there
are none in the info file either, however there are 2 blank lines at
the end of the nested list (end of nested list+end of parent item).

When I export the attached .org file the only difference I get from
your .texi is the AUTHOR and the chapter/sections are numbered rather
than unnumbered (and the level 4 headline is an enumerate rather than
an itemize).
