One more thing: a lot of the controversy over Extreme Programming is
its advocacy for pair programming, meaning always having a team of two
people working together at one computer on one piece of code at a

and the rest of the principles work just as well without it.
Well, as someone practicing pair programming as often as I can
(actually many years before the word XP was coined) I would say this is
probably the most important practice of all! Many other things brake
without PP (examples: collective code ownership, simple design, coding
standards, continuos integration ... just to mention few). And my own
measures show very clearly that a pair can work 30-40% faster (in long
run) compared to two solo programmers. And Cocoa is probably the best
environment that I know (with possible exception of Smalltalk) to do
not only PP but all of the 12 XP practices.
But more on this in online & printed form soon ;-)
Just my 0.02
