Definitely.
All help files would just be HTML files and would be viewed in a browser.
That way, the online help and the bundled offline help would be kept in
sync, and a user could delete the help files from his hard drive to free up
space or choose not to download the files at all (much like you can choose
to download OOo with or without JRE).
