I am personally pretty opposed to including source in the formal -SDK- for a
couple reasons:
1. The source is not documentation.  You should be coding your application
against the SDK specification in the documentation, not whatever some
current implementation is in the platform.
2. Yes, the documentation can be improved.  It is important to get feedback
on where the pain points are in the documentation, rather than providing
source code to cover up those problems.
