Opening a popup browser window of help sounds like a possibility. Some
searches have found people who overlay, but it seems ugly to me.

I have confirmed that the standard Silverlight 4 RichTextBox is so
primitive that it's utterly useless as a way of displaying attractive
formatted help text. The paragraph formatting has no Margin or Style
properties so everything appears as a "slab" of text (like a paperback). I
have previously used the WPF FlowDocument for making help and it works
nicely, but none of that is in Silverlight.
