Most files used by WoW and the Blizzard WoW UI components are foundinside MPQ files, which are sort of like .zip files and not easily accessible for reference. Blizzard provides these files as a convenience for AddOn developers and the community in general.
Just as there is no official Blizzard support for WoW AddOn development, there is no official support for the AddOn Toolkit either. However Blizzard has maintained a new AddOn ToolKit and support page for every major version of WoW thus far.
