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).
