However, exactly because it's so tricky, the Cocoa frameworks are not going to just arbitrarily invoke your code on some random thread.

Yup. Generally, the only time your code will run on a secondary thread is if — You create an NSThread — You call -performSelectorOnBackgroundThread: — You use an NSOperationQueue to schedule concurrent NSOperations — You use the new Grand Central Dispatch features in 10.6

Otherwise the main thread's runloop is going to cooperatively schedule all of the user events, timers, notifications and asynchronous delegate callbacks.
