I had the same idea but do not have any way to do it - or enuf knowledge of
how.  As soon as I cut loose some time I was going to email those dillo folks
and hint that they potentially have  best little document browser in *nix. 
Linux needs one.  All the other browsers seem to want to be better than the
other & include the kitchen sink which makes them completely unsuitble for
browsing documentation locally.

IceWM has a help browser called icehelp, so I think it is reasonable for XFce
to have one.  Dillo is much better than icehelp.  If I can help you, I will. 
I'll test it at least - if you get around to it.
