New CM Help missing API doc?

According to changes.text, the old api.text is incorporated into the HTML.
But I don't see it anywhere (not in the dictionary, not linked to from
cm.html).  

Another nitpick. With *help-browser* set to nil, there seems to be a
problem selecting a specific help topic from a list of matches, if the
desired topic is a substring of the others:

 Stella [Top-Level]: help algo
CM help matching "algo":
algorithm, algorithm_.class., compile-algorithm, item_in_algorithms
Stella [Top-Level]: help algorithm
CM help matching "algorithm":
algorithm, algorithm_.class., compile-algorithm, item_in_algorithms

And a question/suggestion: Would it make sense to also have an Emacs/W3
browsing mode? Or would such a thing make more sense if implemented
entirely in Emacs, not using the CM help module?
