I thought we were still aiming to have flexibility for multiple possible
browsers, even though we ship Yelp as the default GNOME help browser.

Does libgnome currently interact with ScrollKeeper? My memory of
Jonathan's specification was that for GNOME 2 the URI resolution was done
entirely by internal mechanisms and not through ScrollKeeper.
In case anybody hasn't seen it, the spec is at:
gnome-docu/gdp/gnome2_help_api
There were a few issues with the spec which were never resolved. I will
dig up the list, or perhaps John or Jonathan will beat me to it.
