Getting used to browsing info pages in Emacs is something that is rather nice. You can do similar with man pages, there. Often times, it will let you jump directly to the source code of includes and such, if you want to take a peak at the actual code. To that end, I fully agree with the idea. The richness of existing man pages is far nicer than many people seem to realize. I do find a bit of dismay at the folks that want to ditch some of that richness and move to markdown or similar. That lets you layout some things fine, I think. I am 100% convinced that as you try to get all of the linking and general semantics of the existing solution done, you will find that you have added a lot of "schema" expectations to markdown that isn't there by default. And then you will start to build "markdown schema" tools to check that what you have fits some standards. And then... Seriously, just look at a lot of the data that moved to JSON from XML. I saw they are trying to add namespaces to JSON in some projects. Truly terrifying to see people slowly and poorly add the features of the more complicated thing they avoided the first time around.
