Would a reason be that we already have dwww/menu that does exactly
this? with dwww/menu, you'll get a www page (one or more, depending
on your taste) that indexes all registered www pages. The registered
documents go in a nested structure, etc, and the final look of the
www page that contains all pages can very easily be modified.
What adds dhelp that dwww/menu doesn't already have?
