True... the reason I mention it though is because it's Finder behavior.
This one might be a personal preference thing; I don't like the way
that NSBrowser's selection works, and that's one example.

Even something as simple as the user being able to create an empty

deselect each selected item, is a very trivial thing that isn't there
by default in an NSBrowser.
They don't have to do that; selecting one item should deselect all the
others. Then the
user can command-click or option-click or whatever to deselect the one
selected
item.
I'm not sure clicking-in-the-empty-spot-deselects-all is such a good
idea: if
it's an accidental click, the user could get pretty annoyed, having to
go
back and reselect a bunch of items.
