I was thinking that, but it just seems to be sorta evil -
we'd have to do eval'ing and so forth. Consider:

  [help]
  admin/monkey = "welcome to %sitename!"

  [tvars]
  sitename = variable_get('sitename', 'Drupal')

This, of course, is only an example, but consider the same problem with 
url() and the like. Plus, sometimes, there's just degrees of logic 
applied to the help strings to get them to function properly. Consider 
the following from book.module's help:

   if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && arg(2) == 'outline') {
     return t('...');
   }

I can find more examples, certainly, if I kept looking,
but this was the first in alphabetical order.
