It was a bug.

When you specify "Cocoa-Document Based App" from the window, you will get a
class called MyDocument (which represents the specific behaviours of the
document for your app).   There is no NSDocumentController, and in the .nib the
NSDocumentController class not instantiable.

I believe he does need to be made aware.   So far as I know, from looking at
how IB on MOSX behaves, it appears to be a bug to be able to instantiate it by
itself, without a subclass.
