I suppose the need for such standardization has just never arisen.
Googling for docs, checking the library's website, or doing `locate
library-name-here | grep doc` in bash seems to work well enough for
people that no one has found it necessary to pursue the creation of
such a standard.

Sidenote: what Python projects publish their docs in CHM besides
possibly Win32 GUI programs?
