"A new HIG" doesn't really mean anything; we're constantly tweaking and
revising but a rewrite wouldn't make sense.

This is accurate; it's a set of interface guidelines, not implementation
documentation. Its purpose is to instill the design and serve as reference
for the design. The implementation is separate. That said, we try to link
between the HIG and docs when it's beneficial. I'll make a point of poking
through and linking to the developer guide and vice versa where it makes
sense.
