I think that's where I'm unclear. Making the Document class aware of the
view is easy enough with an IBOutlet. But how to properly make the view
aware of the document I'm unsure of.

You're missing the point. You don't connect your NSDocument (model) to your views, you have a controller in between. This controller is responsible for noticing/being notified when the document changes so it can update the view, and it is also responsible for noticing/being notified when the view changes so it can update the document.

But the question I think is still valid and one I'm I'm trying to figure out myself. How, for instance, would you have the view request data from the document (or any other object for that matter). I understand that it may not always be the best design choices but how is it done? Posting notifications is about the only way I can think of and perhaps sending self as the context info.
