Re: Bug in many .texi files

This form and some others are also contained in Texinfo files at
places which aren't intended as cross-refence or menu. If we change
the definition of a cross-reference, this might have an influence
on the probability and the extent of such false cross-references.
False cross-reference forms can be found by executing function
Info-random-walk a few times. This function is also useful for
identifying broken Info links, even those that reference nodes
in other Info files (they aren't found by Info-validate).

Please report broken links. There are classes of them, for example,
links to file (emacs) which should be handled by file `xemacs'.
