For what it's worth, the "pinfo" tool I mentioned works like the links web browser, searches texinfo documentation and falls back to manpages if it can't find relevant docs. It's definitely the Least Bad way to browse info documents by a significant margin... and yet, I keep using man.

Thats worth quite a bit. As a result of this I am going to have to seriously reconsider my position. I'll try using pinfo for a while (Since it DOES use a curses library.) and see if it's what I had in mind. If so, and it does suck, I'll drop large portions of the idea. The main change I'm interested in is the "networked man pages" concept anyway.
