The proposal I thought I was responding to is different from both of
those. It was to make Org format an option for the source format for
a whole GNU manual. One that could generate the same output formats
that we now generate from Texinfo, and would be able to produce a
well-formatted printed manual via TeX.
This does not inherently require imply generating Texinfo format from
Org format. Texinfo format is a source format, not an output format.
However, generating Texinfo format as an intermediate format might be
advantageous as a way to feed the Org-format manual through TeX to
get a well-formatted printed manual.
