I had thought about this too, but was afraid that -drawRect: would be called more often than the actual content of the view was being changed.

If you could limit the calls within -drawRect: perhaps by setting a content did change flag in the subclass this might reduce the notifications to be meaningful.

Like: (written in mail)

-drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{

if ( contentDidChange )
    // post notification

[super drawRect:rect];
}
