That's mostly true, but there are frequently new things in the

WHY is it not in headerdoc form? I work for a small company (~20
developers) and we insist that all our doxygen info be kept up-to-date,
and this is for stuff that is never going to be used by outside
developers. I think it's reasonable to expect no less from Apple.
(I wish Apple could switch to doxygen, but it doesn't yet support
Objective-C. I took a look at adding ObjC support, but it's a huge
amount of work since the parser for all of doxygen's supported
languages is currently mixed into a single flex source file.)
This, too, is Apple's job. Objective-C is now basically a proprietary,
Apple-only language. Apple is asking people that are used to working in
C, C++, Java, python, perl, etc. to use Obj-C. It is up to them to
provide support for it in quasi-standard tools like emacs (the Obj-C
mode sucks compared to any other language I use) or doxygen.
