Nope. It would be a very poor mechanism compared to HTML or CHM.

For a cross-platform application, seems like it would provide a stable platform, assuming you could launch a viewer positioned to a specific page. has text searching, TOC -- why do you feel it's a poor mechanism? Seems more feature-rich with fewer cross-platform issues...
HTML doesn't have cross-platfrom issues. You can launch to a specific page, but you have to know WHICH page to launch to. That requires an external index, or you have to methodically create all of the bookmarks. It would simply be a lot more work compared to HTML.
