True, but that may not be applicable.

if you're doing strictly local dragging, there is no reason you can't set an instance variable somewhere to the object (objects) being dragged when the drag begins, and then get the object reference from that instance variable when the drag completes. This is often applicable when dealing with, oh, say an NSTableView.. :-)

That can save you loads of time and effort (since you may not need to support encoding for the object in general.
