Okay, point taken. We won't worry about all the HTML files being exposed in OmniHelp. And our software developer did notice how fast it was.
So we're looking at context-sensitive help to see if we can get that to work in MS Help Viewer or anything else. It's not a requirement right now, especially if it's going to add any significant time to the schedule, but I'm convinced that it's a key feature that can enhance the user experience, and one of the few advantages that HTML can provide over PDF. If we don't implement it this time around, I'd like to include it next time.

It isn't all that difficult to decompile a CHM, make a change, and recompile. How many do? I produce OracleHelp for Java from Frame source. It also produces HTML for the content. It is delivered as server based, but there is nothing to prevent someone changing the HTML. Haven't heard of anyone doing it.

That could be a completely unfounded concern, so I'm glad to hear opinions to the contrary.

It's not a practical format. I'm not sure if there's a use case where it would make sense. Why would users mess with your help files?
