Can I define the export-snippet using:

    (add-to-list 'org-export-snippet-translation-alist
                 '("e-info" . "e-texinfo"))

Or should that be left up to the discretion of the user?

Unfortunately you can't currently.  I'm using the Headlines both as
section heading and Node heading.  The Nodes cannot contain those
characters.  This also means that you cannot have duplicate headline
names in the document.

See http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Node-Line-Requirements.html

I should be able to get around this by allowing for a :NODE: property
for use in the menus however, if there is some benefit in doing so.
