hi Martin, 

if it is relevant, could you or someone else on Rcore say something more
about this feature -- is R moving towards building help pages on the
fly?  If so, will ESS get 'left behind' if the dynamic help pages are
rendered only in html, and we don't have a way of reading them?  Or is
this building of html pages for other purposes?

(I've recently started using w3m under Emacs, and it is great for
limited browsing, so I could investigate getting ESS and w3m to
co-operate.)
