Re: [help-texinfo] Changing background color of the 'verbatim' environment

[Karl Berry]

    The sooner makeinfo supports uniform pass-through specification, the
    sooner it can remove itself from the style-wishlist treadmill.

Texinfo has never been on that treadmill and never will be, because it
is not and never will be a goal to support output in any conceivable
style/format/whatever desired.  Put another way, Texinfo is not and has
never been (La)TeX (much less XML).

I think it would be quite wrong (and quite difficult) to add features
such as you describe.  Sorry.
