I don't see a strong connection between offering to carry
something or open doors, and escorting into court.  Court is
very public -- a limelight.

I see a big difference between offering a lady my arm to
help her cross an icy parking lot -- a private act -- and
offering her my arm in front of G*d, the royalty, and
everyone.

I see a big difference between offering my arm up dais
stairs -- a clearly functional act -- and a formal symbolic
escort.
