One more question, how does one deal with the very REAL possibility of "notification pollution"? Is there a normal method to generate unique strings?

Yes, prepend the application's name (like NS* in the Cocoa API)

Got a couple of quick questions about NSDistributedNotificationCenter:

1. Is this the "normal" method of passing simple "messages" between threads?

No.

2. Are the notifications machine local? i.e. Is there no ability to have other machines listen for notifications? That is what I *think* I understand from the documentation.

Use NSConnection for talking between computers.

3. Any caveats that I should know before I start entrenching my code with this object?

Try to send NSStrings, NSDictionaries and NSArrays only.
