There is the Mozilla Documentation project
(http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/writing/), but I feel more would
improve it if was a lot easier to contribute (with Mozilla when you
click 'edit this page' at the bottom of the page, the whole page is
edited rather than just the content).

If you scroll down a bit past the <head>, you'll see that it is really just the content. The navigational stuff is added later. However, we use full HTML files for the source -- this lets you add links to style sheets, edit the title and DOCTYPE appropriately, and view/validate the document before you submit it.

Just go to
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/ (which is what web developers
are really interested in, not sure who maintains it)

Yeah, there are several roadblocks in the maintainance of the DOM Ref. The primary one is that we need to move it (and a lot of our other api docs) to an XML format internally, but we haven't settled on a suitable format yet. Michael Nachbaur, who runs MozRef, was looking into this, but I think he's quite busy these days. If you (or anyone else for that matter) can handle XML/XSLT work, feel free to shoot him an email and offer to help.

With Mozilla you search the site using Google, and that searches
everything (when all you may want to do is search Web Development
related information).

Search should work better once we move all the relevant developer documentation to DevMo.

You can get a list of styles with a bit of JavaScript (styles start at
azimuth), but from that you can't see how to use them, and what they
are for.

Anne has done some work on documenting CSS properties. It should be ready to go up on developer.mozilla.org pretty soon. :) See bug 281960: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281960
