No, it's not "perfectly fine".  If you're using NSDocument, then you 
can just ignore it for now and let Apple fix it (which is one way of 
saying "it's perfectly fine," but developers should be aware of the 
subtitles in the reasoning behind this statement of "perfectly fine"; 
that is, that's because once apple fixes it, it will instantly become 
correct.)

The HI guidelines are already quite clear:
"Name a new document window “untitled”; leaving it lowercase makes it 
more obvious that the
window doesn’t have a name and encourages people to save the 
document. If the user chooses New
again before saving the first untitled window, name the second window 
“untitled 2,” and so on. Add
numbers to window titles only when there is more than one open 
untitled window. Don’t put a “1”
on the first untitled window, even after the user opens other new 
windows." (Page 181)

I apologize for continuing this off-topic thread.
