If the effects of the housekeeping are visible to the user then why not use the undo manager directly?

They're not visible to the user. It's more a question of keeping track of changes for use elsewhere similarly to recording an AppleScript. I need to throw away all of the redundant messages and just keep the last one, but it's hard to know when the last message occurs.

Of course it might be a little confusing for the user to see "Undo Housekeeping" in the Edit menu so you might want to think how and when you post your undo action.

I don't think this would work for me anyway. My understanding is that the undo manager marks the undo stack before and after the event is handled, then an undo causes everything on the stack between the marks to be called. If I put something on the stack it won't be called unless undo is executed, but I'm looking for a way to run a function in the same time frame as when the undo manager puts the second mark on the stack.
