I'm confused here. Are we talking about using this with the current
system, or in future for 1.4?

I have need to use this in a doc, and have been able to get
 
<ulink url="ghelp:desk-guide_applet">stuff</ulink>

to work, but not

<ulink url="help:desk-guide_applet">stuff</ulink>

under the current system.

url="man:whatever" and url="info:whatever" also work fine. But
the type="help" part seems to have no effect whatsoever, for good or ill.
