I've written a course in french in texinfo (the pdf and the html produced by
texi2html are available at
http://www.centre-cired.fr/perso/dumas/pb_eco_main.html
). There are no node in that book like document, as I don't need info and 
I was lazy and I know that @-commands aren't well supported i nodes ;-).

It didn't bothered me to use @-commands for accented characters (except
for @^{@dotless{i}}, I should have done a @macro for that, but these aren't
frequent). I could have written in latin1 but I prefer using @-commands 
because in that case texi2html outputs entities and I find entities more
portable, just like ascii 7 bit for texinfo documents.

I don't argue that my case is a general case, I agree with you regarding 
priorities and so on, it is just to mention that such "manual" exists.

And I also made another one, to be used as local manual for linux users at my
lab (that's how I became interested in texinfo), and it was where I was first 
hit by @-commands not allowed in nodes. I don't have time to maintain it, 
however.
