Actually, I didn't dig in in NSWindowScripting.h. I didn't know NSWindowScripting existed, as my Cocoa/Obj-C books never talked about them. I found it defined in the NSWindow section of the "Cocoa in a Nutshell" book where they say it's an Accessor Method of NSWindow (though thumbing through and finding NSWindowScripting it is also listed there).

Right, well, in this case I'd say it's an issue with Cocoa in a Nutshell.


NSWindowScripting is an informal protocol, and those are separated out as categories.


As for "I think Objective-C categories present a bit of a unique challenge for doc writers is all".

writing the doc isn't any different...

I think providing the inherited informal protocols for things would be good, Right now we document the formal protocols in the 'table' at the top of the class.. the name of the protocol and, if it is from a superclass, the superclass in brackets. The same thing could be done with informal protocols.
