It sounds complicated but is actually not :-)

Clearance, no, but since the docs will be viewable under any browser and yelp 
and khelpcenter I do not see a problem.

The help we are talking about does not come from GNOME or KDE or any other 
upstream. Those docs are still viewed in the normal way. Only the stuff we at 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu are doing will be displayed in this way.

I am going a bit out on a limb here but I feel that my approach is neutral 
enough. Also the boys and girls at the top, bless their cotton socks, have no 
idea of what we are doing 99% of the time. Trying to get things done through 
them is sometimes more effort than it is worth. So just do it and say here it 
is :-)
