We'd need to look at:

 a) standard help index database; you don't want to have two separate
    indexes of search terms

 b) we're trying to move away from HTML to just viewing DocBook
    directly, because this lets you dynamically display in various
    formats such as formats for the blind, and also lets you do 
    search/indexing on semantic tags

 c) user should be able to select their preferred help browser and have 
    the same one used by all apps, rather than Nautilus or Konqueror 
    getting launched while you're already running one of them - the 
    resulting battle for controlling the desktop icons is a real 
    disaster
