As a matter of fact I'm the one preparing xmlsec's /usr/share/doc for a 
typical machine (Debian), which is why I found the need for --htmldir. 
It's common to put html docs in /usr/share/doc/<package>/html/.  I've 
been doing that manually, but it's inconvenient without configure support.

The xmlsec package couldn't know what I need to put in 
/usr/share/doc/<package>/ to meet Debian policy.  Such a general 
function wouldn't be much use.

Just as there may be a special place for man or info pages, a distro may 
have a special place to collect HTML pages.
