I thought of that, but it seemed rather hackish and makes a lot of assumptions about when and how often this call gets made (after all, it could be called twice or three times some day). It seemed to make more sense to override makeUntitledDocumentOfType:error: since you should be guaranteed that the framework would only send that message at a time appropriate to creating a new document window, and that the framework wouldn't decide one day to call it twice for some reason.
