What I meant was that the documentation on the website isn't published from
documentation source code (in whichever format) residing in the tree.

That being said, I take that back since I just now in a git pull found that
they had done just that 6 days ago.  It's just as messy and incomplete as what
is currently on the web, important API's like NSS_InitContext are still not
even mentioned more than in a release note, but I think it stands a better
chance of success than before.

Not from what I can tell no.
