Yes, sorry, I figured it out after I sent the mail that I could just 
disable the module :-)

So I'll move the tree editor help to a new helpset and put it into 
xml/tree/javahelp. After that's done, Petr can you change the build 
script to build the helpset?

I think that having the tree editor help available only when the module 
is installed, plus a few disclaimers in the XML module help that nodes 
may have additional subnodes and properties if the tree editor is 
installed, will be enough to provide accurate help in both situations.

Thanks,
