You could add default implementations of your methods as a category to NSObject. That would also take care of the warnings for informal protocols.

That's exactly what you DON'T WANT to. That's the whole point of informal protocols--let the class to implement the method or not, and behave accordingly.

I'm confused - your advice is seemingly contradictory to Apple's practice. Looking at AppKit headers such as NSWindow.h, NSOutlineView.h, and NSBrowserView.h, I see all of the delegate and/or data source methods that are relevant to each class added to NSObject as a category.

The categories you saw simply declare the methods; they don't necessarily implement the methods. Those categories are informal protocols.
