I've done the same thing as Nate (used to do) for years now and find it completely workable. The html documemtation has kept up with the "plethora of new classes/methods in later releases". These docs stay the most up to date with each release. The beta docs even give you a peek at what's coming so you can account for it in new development. I keep locally downloaded copies for speed of access with a bookmark to api/index.html.
