It has no extra sanity checks for this; it uses whatever the Texinfo
checks are -- which isn't great, because Texinfo was originally a
collection of TeX hacks.  TIM is clearly not as powerful as some
frameworks could be that were built in XML; however, it seems to be
powerful enough for a broad range of documents.
