I do not think that this design is fit for the Texinfo language. Indeed, the multi output formats Texinfo language requirement do not require the same choices as the fully customizable output from "KOMA-Script" (and LaTeX more generally). Having separate semantic information that can be assembled by the converters is more relevant for Texinfo language design, in my opinion, possibly with hints on formatting, but something simple on formatting that may be used in multiple output formats. -- Pat
