Yep. BTDT, which was the whole reason for my posting.

Nope.  That does not give me an unambiguous answer to the
immediate issue of what, precisely, was meant by

"They are now located in the developer
directory�s Library/Xcode/ folder."

for the reasons mentioned, before.  Does it mean "the
directory in which the developer tools were installed"?  3
examples, if well-written, would make it clear.

Writing documentation of all kinds is pains-taking work,
which is one of the reasons I didn't much care for it,
myself, but appreciate a job well done all the more when I
see it.  (I kind of like the KEXTConcept manual, for
instance, as compared to most Apple docs I've seen post X.)
