We're also working on some improved ways to display doc information

May I recommend taking a look at Cocoa Browser? Instead of breaking up
documentation into billions and billions of tiny html files, it parses
the html and uses a clean NSBrowser based approach to provide a clean
view of it all. Plus it make is easy to browse documentation, which is
something the built-in xcode documentation app fails at.

It's basically just a better approach at a documentation browser.
Cocoa Browser does not have to deal with all the problems of the XCode
Doc Viewer.
1. Last time I checked it was a Cocoa API browser. And since Cocoa is a
library of class, it's easy to create the hierarchy. It's a bit more
complex with Carbon:
Cocoa hierarchy
Different Kits -> A limited set of classes -> A limited number of
methods per class
Carbon hierarchy
Multiple Managers -> A large number of functions per managers (and a
lot of deprecated ones)
2. Cocoa HTML documents are small compared to most Carbon documents. I
don't encounter any important issues with the XCode Doc Viewer for
Cocoa doc (it could be faster sure but it's not super slow).
The Cocoa API reference documentation is so well designed that I
personally just use Safari with two bookmarks: one for the Foundation
Kit, the other for the App Kit.
