[help-texinfo] Bugs in makeinfo --html and --xml?

[Charlie Zender]

Hi,

http://nco.sf.net/nco.texi

attempts to be a conforming TeXInfo file.

makeinfo --html --ifinfo --no-split --output=nco.html nco.texi

produces

http://nco.sf.net/nco.html

This index in nco.html is missing all @cindex entries that occured
within footnotes (such as @cindex chocolate on line 6758) in the
original nco.texi.

1. Is this a makeinfo bug?

http://nco.sf.net/nco.pdf

was built with

texi2dvi --pdf nco.texi

It (correctly) has chocolate in the index.

Finally, a long time ago I noted that

makeinfo --xml --no-split --output=nco.xml nco.texi

produces

http://nco.sf.net/nco.xml

which is not a valid XML file.
Apparently this a known bug that has not yet been fixed.

2. I'm confirming that this XML-generation bug is still present in the
   current Debian Sid texinfo package.

Thanks,
Charlie
