As one who has been on the Cocoa road slowly over the last year (not
much in the middle, though), it has let me learn and absorb Cocoa
terminology and ideas slowly. But the one thing I found weird was
File's Owner. I knew what it meant. I knew what it does (and
especially after this past week I think I know very very well), but
the name throws me off mentally.
I liked "Nib's Owner". It keeps with the "owner" tag, but makes it
more clear.

Putting this the other way round, I'm not sure that the answer is
to give File's Owner or Nib's Loader behavior that justifies its
name, but rather to give it a unobjectionable name that justifies
its (lack of) behavior -- if anyone can come up with such a name.
"Connection Point" or "Nib Connection Point", maybe.
The problem is that we're stuck with "owner" because it's used in the
framework API (+[NSBundle loadNibNamed:owner:] is just one place
where that terminology is embedded).
