Nope. A table is a table - a flat (as in single-row) list of fields. An outline view is a hierarchical view. These are conceptually two different things and have been for a very long time. Therefore, they are two separate classes with two separate ways of handling data. Granted, they have similarities (columns, cells, etc.), but they are most assuredly different.
The same is true of an NSArray and an NSDictionary. Overlapping functions and purposes (they're both containers, for example, and they both contain a group of objects), but *significantly* different purposes. Therefore, it's inappropriate to make one a subclass of the other.
Then what you are suggesting is that neither should inherit from the other?
