But as a user, it's definitely not something I normally use. > In Texinfo, how can you indicate that you're referring to someone's name? You can't.

Oh I think I see what you mean. You really mean presentation-*driven* rather than presentation-*oriented*. Then I guess you're right: Texinfo was designed as a *logical* markup but the design of that markup was kept as simple as possible, where the main source of complexity comes from presentation needs.
