It's enough if we can get away with it 99% of the time. For the other
1%, we can write raw Texinfo in the Org document. I can extract
a reasonable list from the Emacs Texinfo files.

Org is no silver bullet and does not pretend to supersede Texinfo. But
it tries to make editing manuals easier in most cases.
