The doc sets that come with installations are "shell" doc sets that contain search indexes and metadata, but no actual documentation.  When Xcode downloads an update (or you force this by pressing the "Get" button), a new copy of the doc set is downloaded that contains all the documentation.

Thanks for the explanation, but this is definitely NOT acceptable.  If for some reason someone sets up a development machine or partition to get some work done on a plane or some other locale that's removed from Internet service, he's going to be screwed.

Also, I don't understand this:
"we wanted to avoid people downloading the docs as a large chunk of the SDK, then immediately downloading the updated docs"

Why aren't the updated docs just included with the SDK?  Do you mean that the docs are always late?  Regardless of what it means, a full doc set should come with the SDK or (at the very least) a doc download should automatically launch (or the user should be prompted to launch it) at installation time.
