Wouldn't it be reasonable to open a new page with the help but to clearly have as the first statement on the page instructions such as:"This helppage has opened in a new browser window,when you wish to return to the page you were on please close this window." That way no one is annoyed much, the WAI Guideline in respect to not changing focus without informing the user is satisfied and everyone should be able to use it.

What's that saying about 'some of the people some of the time'. OK which is better / worse. Confused by navigational techniques, or annoyed by verbose help only needed by some people? My perspective would be to annoy the swift folk (as little as possible).
