   However, while in isearch, if you want to use the global meaning
   of HELP, RET HELP would always do it.  

No!  His proposal, which I am against, suggests (by the principle of
`least surprise') converting RET HELP to being equivalent to `C-h k
RET'.  Without a new keybinding, the global meaning of HELP would lack
a keybinding.  We should stick with what we have.
