While HTML still requires a reader of some form, it is a MUCH more common format, and virtually any modern platform will be able to read it. Likewise, it's been (how many years now?) since HTML came out, and HTML documents written then still display in essentially the same way as they did when they were first displayed, even though the browsers have changed.

Yes, but then you'll loose much of the easiness of windows help files, topic search etc.
But as I don't know how to write win hlp files I'll propably do my own HTML help system with a search function.
