What I meant was an RO part and editable part within the same topic, 
ie. LG VX-4400 would have an RO part as exported from BitPim Help, 
and then an editable wiki part that other users may contribute (the 
4400 might be a bad example since it's been out there for a while).  
Conceptually, each topic would consist of 2 files: an RO exported 
BitPim help, and a wiki part to which the BitPim Help could be linked.

Not as HTML but probably as text files which could then be imported 
into HelpBlocks.  Having one file per topic would certainly simplify 
things.

I'd suggest pick a topic (a phone, or FAQ for example) and develop 
the RO and Wiki parts, and import/export/exchange contents back and 
forth to show that it can be done before going any further.
