See this emacs-devel post and its (short) followup: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-12/msg00624.html The idea is this: The Emacs, Elisp, and Emacs Lisp Intro manuals are mirrored by GNU on the web, and one version of the manuals uses a separate HTML page for each Info node. The request is to have an Info-mode Emacs command that returns the URL of the GNU web page that corresponds to the current Info node. For example, if I am in (emacs) `Mark' and I invoke the command then it returns the URL "http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mark.html". Among other things, this would facilitate pointing users from email or from other web pages (e.g., Stack Exchange Q&A) to a particular manual page on the web.
