In a certain sense, they already listened to you ;-)
Here is the rather weird story:
When I tried to verify what you said about Xcode, my Xcode here found a
nicely formatted printf(3) man page on my hard disk at
<file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/printf.3.html>
This file had been installed by the package DevDocumentation.pkg from
the xcode disk (latest version: xcode_2.4.1 from last October), together
with html versions of the other 7360 or so man pages.
Then I downloaded and installed the recent 245 MB ADC Reference Library
update "apr07_adc_reflib_update.dmg" from the Apple developer
connection. After this update, all my man pages in /Developer have
disappeared! Erased, gone.
The corresponding link in the index pages (and this is what Xcode is now
finding) now points to a page on Apple's web site:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/printf.3.html>
Maybe this allows them to update the man pages faster :-) ?
