I'm not really for this at all. One of the big reasons is that it is going to be difficult to handle issues like filename conflicts. Inkscape currently handles this for extensions, but if you are writing files that are not specified by the file dialog, there is no way to help here. Plus, how would "nfs://user/myfiles" be handled as a path?
Yes, I'm aware of those issues; that's something that needs to be properly addressed by any solution, I think. But I stand by my point; I do feel that a solution is needed.
All in all, I really think outputting something like .chm is much better. It should be easy to implement also. Just generate all of the slices and the xhtml files in a temporary directory, the zip them up and output that.
Someone else might be interested in generating CHM files, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a totally different subject. I'm interested in slicing up SVG files to assist with standards-compliant web development, and perhaps in generating good standards-compliants XHTML webpages to go along with it. Microsoft's proprietary online help system is another matter entirely.
