I agree.  Please check in.

Two notes.

(1) Acronym
Texinfo NEWS:
  4.7 (9 April 2004)
  . @acronym accepts an optional argument for the meaning of the acronym.

Work with Texinfo under 4.7?
> XEmacs with @acronym{MULE, MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs}

(2) Comment
How about adding the comment for document writer.
Later, when Texinfo 4.8 becomes not radical, this comment will help us.

@c FIXME Some Texinfo macros are not used because they are radical now (2005-03-05).
@c  @acronym{MULE, MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs}
@c   -> @abbr{MULE, MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs}
@c  @acronym{CJK} (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)
@c   -> @acronym{CJK, Chinese@comma{} Japanese@comma{} and Korean}
