Understanding the docs. UIApplication for iOS

What I'm used to in Apple's iOS class reference docs are listings at the top of the file that specify the objects inherited from and protocols conformed to.

I'm either missing something with UIApplication, or the docs are.

Referring to this class reference document:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplication_Class/Reference/Reference.html

It's not listed that the UIApplication class conforms to the UIApplicationDelegate, but it is mentioned that the delegate exists and is "defined" by the UIApplication.

In fact, in the .h file, it obviously extends UIResponder to conform to the UIApplicationDelegate, but you actually can't tell this by eyeballing the docs.  It's not listed at all until you read the overview.

Shouldn't this be included in the "Conforms to" section at the top of the class reference, while stating that it is conformed to through an extension to UIResponder?

It just seems odd that a fundamental part of UIApplication (the delegate protocol) isn't mentioned in area of the doc that normally lists it.

If this is a doc bug, I'll gladly report it, but I'd like to make sure it's not my oversight first.

Thoughts?
