You might want to read that document again. My interpretation of it, given all the references to sandboxing and entitlements, is that it applies to App Store apps, e.g. for an app to access iCloud from the desktop it needs to be approved through the app store. That's obviously not the case for BibDesk now or in the near future (and maybe never, given some of the App Store restrictions). I haven't heard anything official about whether non-App Store apps can access iCloud, so I don't know for sure that that's true. The second thing is that even if that hurdle were cleared, Apple still might not allow all those pdfs into iCloud.
