Ok, but don't forget that:
1/ the programmer is not the only one who can (have to) write docs. Docs
can be writen by even a simple user of the app.
2/ We have to let the docs and help files be writen with 'any' editor.
With a simple text editor, or with any html editor for example. Another
tool 'll have to compile them to the help format.

The hyper-Text format has to be simple, if one like to write docs with a
PDA in his spare times, let him do it, and with his prefered editor...
He works for our apps, but doesn't care about why we force our doc
writers to use OOo or fpc/lazarus formats.
