I might be wrong here, so apologies for wasting bandwidth if I am.

I think Eric and Adam are talking at cross purposes.

Eric wants to add an NSView (or subclass) to the object window,
i.e. create an instance of NSView only - not making it a subview of a
displayed element. Adam is talking about adding a custom view to the
interface. Is that correct?

The former is useful for holding views which will be swapped in as
needed - say in info windows.

I have a feeling this was only added to Apple's IB recently (10.1
update) - for example 'Learning Cocoa' uses a panel to hold views, but
this panel is never used.
