I think this is the only thing doable on the html output of the texinfo
manual.

I will submit that to the bug-texinfo mailing list.

It seems like a good idea.

However in the case of tests, I think that, in the end, there will still be
false negative for relevant Id strings, for example the one in comments
in the texinfo manual at the beginning of the file. Thus using -ko seems 
the best way.
