while the discussion of possible re-positioning of the term file's owner is interesting, discussing it here isn't going to change how it is referred to in the documentation (and for that matter, I doubt it'd be changed from file's owner anyways...)

please take it off-list

thanks

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).
