Indeed.  When I converted Texinfo to tbook, I experienced many
problems with the XML output.  However, Alper was extremely helpful.
This time things should be better, and possibly I can improve the
XML myself if necessary.

For example, it would be nice to keep TeX's formula syntax out of
the XML, and add a TeX-->MathML routine to makeinfo instead.  (For a
well-defined subset of TeX's formula syntax.)

Do you have examples?

Tschö,
