Yes, if an external could generate its own help patch that would be 
something.
A simplified format would have a single block of comment text and all 
the messages along with the object itself.
All possible messages are known to the external when it adds them to the 
symbol table.
The symbol table could be translated on the fly but the comment block is 
more difficult.
