Two reasons:

1) The offline help is displayed through the light HtmlView control, not 
the heaviest WebView.

2) Bugs in the Html underlying library, or in the generated HTML, or in 
the style sheet, or in the IDE when it fills the HtmlView with all that 
stuff.

I am already aware of some bugs, as I use the offline help, but when you 
find differences, you can report them.
