HTML without some indication of key bindings provides no particular support
for keybindings. If the standard Emacs bindings (`i', for instance) were
specified in the HTML code as `accesskey' attributes, then browsers would
still be able to ignore them or do whatever else they like, but at least a
browser that supports `accesskey' would, without doing anything special,
provide user support for the standard Emacs Info bindings.
I don't know anything about `accesskey' besides what I read during a few
minutes of googling. In particular, I don't know which browsers might
support it. But it seems to be a standard HTML way to indicate key-binding
suggestions to a browser - in particular for links.
In our case, putting <A href="an-entry#index.html" accesskey="i"> or <A
href="an-xref#foo.html" accesskey="f"> or <A href="an-uplink#foo.html
accesskey="u"> would presumably be a simple way to indicate to an
accesskey-enabled browser to support `i', `f', and `u' for those three
links, respectively.
If the new Info browser itself was accesskey-enabled, then we would be
killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, it's just an idea that might be
worth exploring.
