You must be kidding. Texinfo is the worst documentation format EVER. And 
the readers universally suck too, unless you're a total GNU emacs fan and 
have been for a decade, and have problems understanding people who don't 
like the all-in-one mentality.

There are absolutely _zero_ advantages in Texinfo over AsciiDoc. It has 
all the same disadvantages, except the source files are *also* unreadable 
(which is the one really nice feature of AsciiDoc - you can ignore 
everything else, and just read the original .txt file).
