Fine with me. (in fact: I use it that way in xtla.el at the moment)

You get the help in any minibuffer prompt. Sometimes you want to type
a SPC. I think it is usefull, if the help buffer is available during
entering a value in a minibuffer.
So I am not sure about the best way to get rid of the help
window. And if it is even necessary to get rid of it (you can always
switch to the window and kill it explicitly).

I think, that entering the usual help menu with f1 of C-h is fine.
The downside of this is, that you have to type C-h C-h k instead of
C-h k, etc.
