There must be a script that produced outdated:
http://www.netbeans.org/devhome/docs/i18n/i18ncheck/xml.html
It is used by release engineers for sanity testing
purposes. They do not provide a public framework yet.
Some bits can be found under nbbuild/misc

There is also the i18n module that can catch many cases
and it's the only possibility for NetBeans forms.

For accessibility is there a support module http://a11y.netbeans.org/.

It differs from module to module. Some modules do not
contain any user documentation directly but delegate this
responsibility to userguide module. It allows to write
more consistent but monolitics docs. Most Java modules use
this approach. XML modules cobundle all related documentation with
xml-core module. Sources are available under xml/core/javahelp.

Regarding tree customizations doc I'm uncertain. It's a kind
of declarative API. I still consider it experimental as there
is a room for enhancements that may break backward compatibility.
