Not being a Cocoa head (yet?) I looked thru a few of the sample Cocoa
projects that I downloaded from our developer web pages and peeked into
their .nib packages. They were all XML. I wouldn't want to have to type any

I guess that as long as post Jaguar will accept the XML then that would
allow him to go that route.
