While I don't know if installing both help packages makes any sense at 
all (as the content of both is derived from the same sources and thus 
should be equivalent), it should be rather easy to implement a kind of 
switch in the IDE's menu to select the help package to be used, if 
multiple ones are installed. I suppose the IDE accesses the features of 
the help package/database via some "help package object", so switching 
would just be modifying one (or just a few)  pointers.

While it might not make much sense to install both (and in realtime be 
able to switch between) two offline help viewers, I feel it does make 
sense to switch between an online and an offline help viewer, if both 
packages are installed. (If the offline help viewer is not an 
appropriate package, IMHO, it should be converted to be one. I even 
think using DocView with online information provided by some 
"HTTP-INF-Server" might be very nice.)
