The externally developed 'JessyInk' extension (bundled with Inkscape 0.48) is another example to use a second tab for the help text in each of its dialogs.
Is there any reason we can't introduce a simple Webkit based help browser that would just open a small window next to extension's dialog on demand and show nicely formatted text? GIMP uses IDs for actions to figure out which .html file to open in every context. Well, we do have verbs, don't we?

A new feature/widget for INX files to provide examples (acting like presets) could complement any help system, possibly even more efficient than a fancy new (browser) widget to display a plain or formatted help text?
