Description:
There is no word about necessity to upgrade help tables when upgrade server.

How to repeat:
Install 5.0 server
Install help tables
Install 5.1 server over 5.0 installation
Run mysql_upgrade
Try to use help tables

You notice links to 5.1 manual and probably some information will be missed while you see no word about help tables should be reloaded.

Suggested fix:
Add at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrading.html a note about help tables need to be upgraded too.

Add at mysql_upgrade description page a note about it doesn't upgrade data in help tables.
