I did find a handful of examples in samples/ApiDemos/res/drawable. The xml files in that directory are all examples of using <shapes> and related xml elements.
Some of this is mentioned in the javadocs for android.graphics.drawable. Some xml elements like <corners> and <gradient> are not documented anywhere that I know of. The attributes for <shape> are listed in GradientDrawable but then these apparently are also the attributes for <gradient> according some of the examples. So I guess it is at least supported as part of the API, even if you have to reverse engineer it to figure out the features.
