Why is it outside the scope of the GNU Project?

This is probably a silly hack, but here are some ideas to have a
"dynamic" Emacs manual.  Basically, write dynamically, publish
statically.  A rough plan:

1. Convert the Emacs manual from texi to org.

2. Leverage `where-is' and the macro replacement facilities of org---(info
"(org) Macro Replacement").

3. Export the org manual to texi.
