Press <F1> above a feature and you go directly to the corresponding help 
page. If not, then in josm the spec for the help page is missing - This 
is a mainly adding a 'this.putValue("help", "...")' for the relevant 
component when missing.

We have a very good design of help system, but there is nobody who cares 
for the texts. And I fear also in future nobody cares.

It is natural that the help-links in JOSM will go slightly out of sync 
when the doc pages aren't maintained.
