It's more a question of using SVG as a base from which to convert to other
formats. See below.

Info is not concerned by eps or pdf either.
eps seems to be here to cover the TeX (DVI) output and pdf is here for the TeX
(PDF) output. Html and info use the plain text graphs that are in the texi
sources, and I guess DocBook too:

The problem is that it does not seem trivial to edit the files in Emacs and
replace the English with Japanese strings, for ex. So my question is: is EPS an
accepted (editable) source format?
It would seem more practical to have a format that's a bit easier to edit (SVG,
if only because it supports unicode) and from there use conversion tools to
create the required formats:
eps for TeX (DVI output)
pdf/png/jpg (jpeg) for TeX (PDF output)
png, jpg (jpeg), gif for HTML output (although the current output does not use
images but just plain text)
eps, gif, jpeg (jpg), pdf, png, svg for DocBook output
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html#Images
Considering the needs of the lisp introduction, we could have svg for an
eventual DocBook output, png for the HTML and PDF output, eps for the DVI
output and we'd be all set.
Or maybe the actual source for the EPS (and PDF) files found in the intro is
somewhere else? Are the files created from the texinfo source?
