This makes sense to me.
`make html' is not a problem. However if `make install-html'
and `make uninstall-html' are introduced and must (as we all
expect) install more than just makeinfo-generated files, then
the GNU Coding Standards should also define a destination
directory for these other files. Something like $htmldir.
