They don't document anything. ;)
If you took one look inside the new files, at all the things that have changed, you would scream your head off if you didn't have documentation. There's a REASON why we modders CREATE documentation for every file known to exist - without it, we'd be flying blind and broken. It's no different for Blizzard.
But, to be fair, I don't think it's entirely a lack of documentation. Rather, it's a lack of communication between the programmers and the web folk. IF any documentation does in fact exist, it never (or hardly ever) reaches the hands of the website maintainers. Because of this, they have to rely on word-of-mouth, and whatever input the community gives (without the community, AS wouldn't even exist). That's why us modders, and our input, is so crucial - they'd be dead without us. ;)
Not the best system, surely. But that's the way it is - love it or hate it.
