That is me mostly done now. The only thing I noticed was that in texinfo.texi, when generating the top-level menu, that the "Appendices" comment would be lost before the links to the appendices. I don't know if it is worth adding special code just to output this comment in the menu. I also had to delete the joke after the menu as the automatically generated menu will be the very last thing in the node. Perhaps we could hide a joke somewhere else in the file?
