I don't understand this statement--I didn't think that NSTableColumn has a "selected object" binding--there doesn't seem to be one in the bindings inspector--and if it did, what would it do? Did you mean "value" binding, or NSPopupButtonCell, instead?

I can't make sense of this either--just the last bit about "assignable to the 'selected object'."
> • NSPopupButtonCell 'content values' may be bound to an array giving the strings you want displayed in the table, by appending an additional key onto the key path which 'content' is bound to. The additional key must be a method which which can be sent to the objects in the array that 'contents' is bound to, and return a string.
Are you simply describing here the details of popup bindings, or something specific to getting bindings to work with an NSPopupButtonCell in an NSTableView? I don't recall ever being successful at using bindings in this case, but then maybe I didn't try hard enough or just gave up too soon and developed a belief that it wasn't possible...
