can the docs be reproduced locally into the same usable format
as they exist on the site, using a tool that anyone reading
the docs would automatically have?  or is the tool something
that must be obtained separately, or would the generation into
usable form require manual steps not documented for users?

It's part of the standard JDK, totally documented.


But

 - one must download the source, which is usually not the case
 - the regular docs ususally link to the javadocs
 - it's convenient to be able to reference javadocs in mails
   and have all look at them in the discussion

For example, if you look at the ant mailing list, you will find users complaining that they don't find them online BTW IIRC.
