I read the thread but couldn't get the attachment ...

The thread seems to die on some point?! Was there a decision?

The decision between texinfo and docbook is rather contructed as both
can be easily converted forth and back. makeinfo supports
xml, docbook, html, text and tex out of the box. Even converting it
from docbook back to info shouldn't be very hard using
http://docbook2X.sourceforge.net/ , although i never tested it in that direction...
