Many thanks for picking up this orphaned project. I look forward to the day it serves as the source for org.texi. When I was working on the project several years ago, I didn't notice any constraints introduced by Jonathan Leech-Pepin's ox-texinfo. For me, the hard part was trying to synchronize with the on-going changes to org.texi, which quickly defeated my best efforts. Have you figured out how to automate that?
