I don't know, but the relevant term is "quarantine":

Note that Rentzsch's Tumblr entry has been updated with a link to a Service for convenience. I haven't tried any of this stuff myself, though I've been meaning to, partly because of procrastination and partly because I too am reluctant to mess with this stuff.
I wondered if Xcode might use some special privilege to get around this, but doing "Open Page in Browser" in Xcode has the same annoyance. Yet Xcode itself opens the file with no such warning.
I just noticed something else. Usually when I get the quarantine warning it's when launching a new app that I've downloaded. I say okay, and I don't get the warning for that app again. With documentation pages, though, I *always* get the warning. Maybe it's a permissions thing that prevents me from changing the quarantine status of those files. Whatever the reason, it adds to the annoyance.
What's even worse, with Xcode 3.2.6 on Snow Leopard, and up-to-date documentation, I don't even get the page I wanted. The browser is redirected to the documentation home page at file:///Developer/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleSnowLeopard.CoreReference.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/navigation/index.html. By the way, AppKiDo does open the right file in Safari.
With Xcode 4.1 on Lion I do get the right page, but it still has the infinite quarantine problem.
