Well, that's a matter of style. Argument 1: all methods implemented should
be declared in the header, so that by looking at the header one can tell
what methods a class implements--in theory I agree. Argument 2:
commonly-overridden methods (think dealloc for instance) just clutter up the
header without providing any real info.

I tend to try to declare everything, but put the common "overhead" kind of
stuff grouped together out of the way, after the more "interesting" stuff.
