That's true. I'm working on some changes (will soon open a separate
bug for it), so that each member of 'eldoc-display-functions' uses its
own "outlet" (buffer, child frame, echo-area) independently, which is
not the case. This should also allow users to obtain a buffer that is
"pinned" when they interactively invoke M-x eldoc. That pinned buffer
should be "an equivalent of the *Help* buffer" for all (or most)
intents and purposes.
