man and info are not so Haiku friendly, though. You have to use

mimetypes, and preferred apps, so a user *could* click on the file
to read it? You could even then have links to those pages from the
main doc folder for that app [I actually long ago set up a xicon
script that you can drop a man file on to read].)
I guess I can live with .../documentation/packages as long it is a
clear standard, documented somewhere.

I believe you need "man" to read man pages, but reading an info page
with "info" is an awful nuisance, I always do something wrong and
need q to escape.
I could read an info page better with "less" than with info!
KDE's Konqueror did a good job with info pages, at least in Linux
Slackware 13.0. Otherwise, there is pinfo, which I find is not in
haikuports.
