There is one good info browser: GNU Emacs. On the other side I don't
know any good browser for HTML, that's the main problem of HTML
documentation.
OK, if HTML was chosen as Debian documentation format, why not. But I
really don't know why to waste my limited disk space for (mostly
uncompressed!) HTML documents, when (from my point of view) better
format is available.

Further wastage of disk space for many users.
I know it was said many times, but AFAIK nothing happened yet: the

type (HTML, info, postscript, text, ...) of documentation if
available.
