I think the internal renderer should and could be perfect (read fast,without
any serious layout problems) for the own generated docs, because they are
simple and we control both sides.

Then there could be  an override option to open topics external CHMs with a 
full browser.

Good analogy. Though I shouldn't need to install such a browser (or even
configure it) if I don't want to use it. It should be totally optional.
