Considering, that the advised method of disabling syntax highlighting
in the help is using :set syntax=OFF we should probably prevent loading a
syntax file with the name OFF and handle this in synload.vim (as it is
already done for the value 'ON')

Here is a patch, that does that (and additionally makes the check for
the syntax item ignore case):
--- syntax\synload.vim Tue Sep 25 08:09:53 2012
+++ syntax\synload.vim.new Tue Sep 25 08:09:43 2012
