Having "point your web browser at local HTML documentaion" be an *option*
is a nice feature, but I have never suggested it is a suitable replacement for 
'info'.
However, I think we can agree that a wrapper around an embedded browser (such
as WebKitGtk or Yelp) could be a suitable replacement for 'info', assuming
you're OK using a GUI.

If you must use a terminal rather than a GUI, there is the option of using emacs
with a modified info-mode that wraps eww-mode (or similar). (That is my 
suggested
long-term roadmap for getting rid of the info file format - though I'm unlikely
to work on it myself.)
