I've figured out why: KStandardDirs is never told about the "html" 
resource.

KStandardDirs::kde_default("html") will return "share/doc/HTML", 
but "html" isn't listed in the types that 
KStandardDirs::addKDEDefaults() adds resource types for.

Despite the claims to the contrary in the documentation for 
KStandardDirs::addResourceType(), not all the standard resource paths 
returned by kde_default() are added by addKDEDefaults().

Should all the standard directories returned by kde_default() be added 
by addKDEDefaults()?  If so, I can do that.
