No, they're not -- they're fundamental to KVC and KVO; they will work with any class that leverages these technologies...

If they are going to try to use them, their documents
should clue you in and at least provide the reference you guys sent. (Ok,
the documents headers do vaguely reference the Key-Value Coding Guide, along
with a few other encyclopedic references.)


... the documentation makes abundantly clear that a full understanding of KVC and KVO is a prerequisite for using bindings. If you've failed to meet those prerequisites then a failure to understand is yours alone.

To reiterate a point Erik made, it is not clear why some here seem to think that it should be possible to dive headlong into a complex environment and expect everything to make sense. There are good pedagogical reasons why the documentation -- and some of us answering questions here -- stress the importance of learning the fundamentals first.
