OK, here is the deal, right from the horses mouse (see how I did that??? eh eh?)

most informal methods moved to formal methods. this changed the availability because they used to be categories on NSObject, and they aren’t anymore.

developers didn’t like this. we (devpubs) did’t like this.

the next release of the doc will have something along the lines of

Available in Mac OS X v.10.4
Available as a formal protocol in Mac OS X v.10.6

the wording isn’t exactly that, but that is the gist.

thanks to our tools team for fixing that
