What were the criteria for determining that a separator is missing in
a particular place?

Adding separators makes the menus longer, which could be a problem,
especially on TTY frames with a small number of lines (like 24).  So
we need to add them judiciously.

>      ["Previous Topic" help-go-back
> -     :help "Go back to previous topic in this help buffer"]
> +     :help "Go back to previously visited topic"]
>      ["Next Topic" help-go-forward
> -     :help "Go back to next topic in this help buffer"]
> +     :help "Go back to next visited topic"]

These changes lose information, because there could be more than on
Info buffer in an Emacs session.  Any particular reason you thought we
should remove the "this help buffer" part?

>      (easy-menu-define nil map ""
>        '("Eww"
> -	["Exit" quit-window t]
>  	["Close browser" quit-window t]

Why did you want to remove the "Exit" item?

Thanks.
