Do you think we could add a new 'rich text' field for a workflow free text help / readme file?
Annotations will support HTML, and it's always been the long-term plan that they will include HTML. What's missing is a nice editor for creating HTML annotations.
I've taken advantage of this to add a sentence to my workflow annotation with a URL to the Tool Shed where the user can read the full README file. This is a reasonable compromise for now - the annotation needs to be short as it is shown at the top of the page when running a workflow. See:

I presume this HTML field gets sanitised (to avoid security exploits), so the user text can't do anything too complicated.
Right now actually editing this field is quite painful (and assumes you know raw HTML in order to do any formatting at all), but it works :)
Bug report for Greg/Dave, filed here: https://trello.com/c/2crUDlsr/1073-workflow-annotation-not-rendered-as-html-... The workflow annotation is isn't rendered as HTML on the Tool Shed :( e.g. http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/secreted_protein_workflow or http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/rxlr_venn_workflow Peter
