Well, we _could_ make it XHTML by hacking texi2html... but I think
the current HTML version is fine.  I'll just note in passing that
this one more advantage to using texinfo as an intermediate
language: we can export it to whatever backend(s) we want,
assuming we're willing to write those backend(s).  :)

That's (relatively) easily changed (actually I changed it already
for the TOC in the init file).  If there's any particular
annoyances, let me know and I'll look through the init file and/or
the texi2html source.

Up to you, as the graphics designer.  :)
