How is that different from 2 manuals having the same name? IOW, why do we want to impose on the Texinfo system solution of a problem that basically is a mistake on the part of the manual author(s)? One simple solution would be to have all images that belong to the manual FOO.info to be named FOO-something.png, thus realizing a poor-man's namespaces. I see the GnuTLS manual already does that. If what triggered this discussion is some text in the Texinfo manual, let's fix the manual to say something more reasonable.
