I hit 'send' too soon; no corrections necessary, but some additional
comments follow...

1] The section for emacs add-ons should make clear that for features
   FSF/GNU/emacs has no control over the content and its licensing, can't
   be depended to offer support, and whatever mumble mumble lawyers
   insist on including.

2] The proposal neatly divides default emacs from extensions, and is a
   nice solution, but it is 'lazy' and 'easy' at the expense of trying
   to provide a single integrated manual that organizes ALL components
   of any single user's individual emacs by related subject. This more
   difficult alternative would be a cross between an info index page and
   the output of M-x info-display-manual. In that case, the root info
   page would just have a single entry for emacs, maybe even not
   justifying a separate section labeled emacs.
