The problem with "Nib owner" is that it suffers from exactly the same
problem Quincey highlighted:

"File's Owner isn't the object that loaded the nib, it's the object
that the object that loaded the nib *says* is the owner. [...]
although it's *called* 'File's Owner', the concept isn't essentially
about files or ownership."

"Nib owner" only fixes half of that problem.

Perhaps "Nib's Delegate" would fit better with people's understanding?
