Your assumption is correct (and I enjoyed reading it).

Yes. Customizing `view-remove-frame-by-deleting' should cut that. But
apparently most people don't know about that option (FWIW it's been in
view-mode ever since).

Badly formulated: I meant that the information view-mode maintains (in
`view-return-to-alist') in order to correctly exit a help window must
not get overwritten when the user clicks on a link or a button. With
other words I have to make sure that quitting help doesn't get me to an
earlier (in history) help window.

Drew would probably disagree here.
