I had thought the same thing. Use "documentation" for developer docs
and "help" for user docs. It would work out OK if everybody knows the
rules on when to use which. But it has the disadvantage of not being
self-documenting in the way "userdocs" and "develdocs" are. But as you
mention, it does nicely mirror directory names.
