Humour aside, you seem to be mixing two things: front and back end.
Back end, you've a `device' that renders to an HTML Canvas, in a similar
manner to -TX100, and gxditview(1). groff and
http://www.nongnu.org/man-db/ offer options to kick-off gxditview for
display. man-db will also open a local file in a browser for HTML
output. Fitting in alongside those would leave the user with his
familiar tools.
Front end, you're aiming at a documentation browser and so want to find
man-page sources, etc? I think this is less novel and users would enjoy
an integrated back-end more, and prefer it first.
