automatic detection of glossary terms and bibliography is bad

Hi,

There is a feature in texi2html which I find should be removed. It is the
detection of bibliography items and glossary items. It is not that I think
it is a bad idea to have bibliography items and glossary items handled 
specially, but as it isn't done by a texinfo command we should refrain from
doing anything with it. Or, to state it otherwise, implement it only
when it has become a texinfo feature.

If somebody think it is really something which should be handled, then it
should be submitted to the texinfo maintainer, first, and only if he 
refuse we could do something. But even in that case we should do it with
a macro and not bare pattern matching.

Maybe a implementation of that in texinfo would be the following:

There is a new table type rtable (or maybe anchortable ?), and each element 
of a rtable is added as an anchor. It is then possible to use the regular 
*ref commands to make reference to the anchors.

What do all of you think about that (especially the ones who added/need 
that feature) ?

Note: there are other reasons why it is a bad idea and could break things,
but I think that the fact that it isn't some texinfo should rule it out
anyway, without further look at technical details (like, in my opinion, any
feature which isn't in texinfo or isn't implemented as @macro). 

In my opinion any attempt to do things which aren't in texinfo or, 
if the texinfo maintainer refused a feature, aren't implemented as
macros should be banned from the code.
