In Emacs 21.3, `texinfo-format-buffer' doesn't have it, but in Emacs
21.3.50 (CVS) it works:

Correct.  But all non-ascii characters have been turned into
`eight-bit-graphic', now.

I managed to produce dvi and info files with all Latin-1 except `¬'
some hours ago (reverting the file back to Latin-1 and _with_
@documentencoding.  But I'm not able to reproduce it now (Dunno if
it's related to your changes.).  I will try look into this again
later.
