It's difficult to say for sure, but the JavaHelp User Guide (JHUG) with 
JavaHelp 2.0 suggests to me that it does in fact support HTML 4.0.  The 
spec makes mention of viewers having to support 3.2, but it specifically 
states that localization is supported as required by HTML 4.0.  And the 
JHUG mentions some limitations of parameters and things in order to be 
in compliance with HTML 4.0.  So you might want to make sure you've got 
the latest release and look through both the spec and JHUG.

I also saw mention in the spec of the ability to use alternate viewers 
that will use the JEditorPane, which I'm pretty certain can do HTML 4 
content.
