I don't think it's a good idea. Emacs is a relatively large package, and likely to not be installed on some systems, like the current mobile computers/phones. the Emacs Info reader is for users who already have Emacs and use it actively enough to not want to fire up a separate reader. The whole justification of the move to something based on HTML is to allow people to use the existing browsers to read the GNU documentation. So if Someone™ indeed comes up with such a back-end to makeinfo, the stand-alone reader will simply silently die.
