That page really doesn't provide enough information for us to make any concrete theories yet.
All it appears to be is a list of function calls ,their parameters and list of a variables new in the 3.3.5 patch.
We have no idea what each function does , how they work , what variables we need to use , what format those variables need to be in , which ones are protected etc etc.
Those functions may not do what you think they will do just from reading the name. And there isn't any indication that all of those function calls will actually be able to used in the 3.3.5 patch - Blizzard have in the past included stuff in their patches that aren't activated until a later patch. Some of it is never used.
I haven't seen anything yet on testing being done by addon authors on the current 3.3.5 API. Neither do I know how to.
