Yes, I looked at the spec and searched on the word "static" but I can't really understand what the spec is telling me. Am I the only one who thinks that this document has gotten more and more obscure and abstruse over time?

So I'm not the only one. At least to me, a large part of Apple's docs have followed this trend. Not much is explained at all in too many of the foundation class docs.

People come to these docs looking for answers and all too often the reason why people are going there is not explained by the docs.

It appears that one obscure item is explained in additional and equally obscure terms.

You are looking at a language specification. Apple's documentation for blocks is over here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/cocoa/Conceptual/Block...
