I think that's a fair assessment. The only thing I'm concerned about is
potential clashes between generically-named docs (e.g. if GNOME has a
desktop-help/ directory but KDE also wants a desktop-help/ directory).
Will this be left up to packagers to decide what to do?

That seems reasonable. Will index.xml be supported too?

Thanks,
