I don't like it too much. IMO XE should be standalone. This is why we've taken pains to have the syntax guide directly in XE for example. The reason is simple: you can install XE locally and have no internet access. We do have a solution for field help. I haven't used it myself but I'm sure others here can comment on it. It's used for example on the XWiki SAS intranet, something like this: http://tinycoke.com/_6rXVfMRfwk2/screen_shot_2010-02-11_at_8.39.20_am.png WDYT?
