Well, don't forget that in this case you are developing something that will
be used by developers. So it shouldn't be a big deal to make a developer
handle the data source of an object. Actually it might be better because that
way the developer will understand better the way your object works.
You might want to consider letting your object's data source handle the
images even from IB. It's better in the sense that your users will know where
the images are getting stored... if I drag images to your object and later I
see that they're really in a data source, wouldn't that be a little
confusing? I mean, come on, I'm a developer, I can understand if you make me
drag the images into another object that is the data source of your image
view...
Someone in this list has a very apropriate signature for this case, that says
something like "by child-proofing the world, we're forgetting about a more
important task, which is world-proofing the child"
