>There is (was?) an Australian Standard for the software user documentation
process (it was AS/NZS 4258:1994...It may help in the generics, but a doc
that is now 13 years old could be out of date with some of the electronic
delivery methods.
This standard mentions context help, extended help, keys help, help for
help, message help, reference phrase help and intelligent help, so it's
still pretty helpful.
However, yes, new standards are being drafted. I'm a member of the working
group that drafts them, so if anyone is interested in contributing to the
process, please get in touch!
