Hi Josh,
You won't find any docs for the format because it it isn't a supported
interface - it can change between releases. But, the command line
program, ibtool, _is_ a supported interface for working with xibs and
nibs. Maybe that'd help some?
Good luck to you. If you haven't already filed bugs about IB's
accessibility, I'm sure they'd be appreciated.
