Thanks.  I applied the first two patches, and passed the source files
through:

  sed -e"s/@var{\([a-z0-9?!-]\+\)}/\U\1/g ; s/@code{\([^}]\+\)}/‘\1’/g"

because docstrings should not contain Texinfo markup.

I could come up with a ‘declare-relative-uri-header!’ that would use
(build-uri xxx #:validate? #f) as a quick fix.

However, it seems to me that your patch is actually fine, and doesn’t
break compatibility, so I’d rather apply it directly.  Did you have
other concerns?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
