Wouldn't it be better to have all help files in /usr/share/help/ ? (help spec needed?)

Wouldn't it be better to have all help files in /usr/share/help/ or
something like that (so in the same directory)?

Gnome app:
 /usr/share/gnome/help/gcalctool/C/gcalctool.xml

Kde app:
/usr/doc/kde/HTML/en/keasycd/index.html


looks like gnome and kde have a total different way of storing their
help files. 

- different path (gnome:/usr/share/gnome/help kde:/usr/doc/kde/HTML)
- default language path (gnome:C kde:en)
- primary file (gnome:program name kde:index.html)
- .... (plz add if you know others)

Are there plans for a spec about this so they are less different?
