This command is already used in the Emacs manual, in what I believe is
the way texinfo recommends. It only affects the printed titlepage.

See:

http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/texinfo/GNU-Sample-Texts.html#GNU-Sample-Texts

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/doc/emacs/emacs.texi?root=emacs&view=markup

The latter looks consistent with the former AFAICS.
