If splitmode is not the only way of doing things (can't imagine it would be so for the time being), then we need an external file to do that part.
For what it is worth, I would like to see all of the help texts in a separate file. The case I often run into is that the texts chosen by module authors are inappropriate for a particular site I am building. The current "Drupal way" of fixing this is to turn on the locale.module, create a new version of English (en-US), disable the standard English, and translate the inappropriate texts from English to English. You can see how this is a horrible waste. I'd much rather have a texts file that extracted help and as much of the texts (if not all) as possible. This way, I could give the file to a non-tech person and say "fix it", with a reasonably high chance of them not screwing it all up. I can't do that with the current system. So while there are arguments for keeping the .file proliferation to a minimum, there are some good arguments to the contrary. -Robert
