Yes, most likely Nautilus will be used to display help in the future.

It's a bit complicated, look at libgnome/gnome-url.c, gnome_url_show()
to see how it works.

I would just call gnome_url_show(), users can configure it to use
Netscape instead of gnome-help-browser if they want, from the control
center. On Red Hat at least it ships that way by default, even.
