Yeah, so, subject is the question - is it safe to do this?

If I understand your question correctly, yes, it's perfectly safe. When you message a class you're really just messaging a special instance of it. See (from memory) the objc_getMetaClass() function.

If you send a message to "self" from inside your initialize method you're sending a message to that special instance. The Objective-C runtime is such that there will only ever be one such instance.
