Well - you have 'help' at the bottom but really provide no information 
about what you are going to test in it ;)

The 'ideal' behavior for testing the help stuff by the way is to install 
the application's DocBook SGML file in the same place as the installed 
HTML (since currently no application in the world does this, it probably 
means you will overlook it in your tests).

It should though remain backwards-compatible (so if the DocBook SGML file 
is not installed, it will just load up the old HTML stuff).

Note: The help sidebar has known issues and is a problem
