The current Apple Help Programming Guide describes the new approach. I can't tell you about a sample for the new approach, but I fail to see why the programming guide should not be sufficient.
There appears to be some inconsistencies in the Xcode documentation for this. For example, it has the lines:
> For an example of a help book to use as a starting point, see the files for Mail Help in
> /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MailHelp/
Which is the old style structure (can't even cd to this directory). Then immediately underneath that it gives an example of the new style structure.
I think I'm making progress (viewing the apple-help-authoring archives and lots of Googling). Given all the elegance of Cocoa design, Xcode, and Interface Builder, it seems like the Help architecture is strangely inelegant.
