It would have required new API to support some kind of top level 
collection returned by the NIB that, ultimately, would have been a 
waste of memory.

The easiest solution for non-mainmenu NIBs is to create outlets on 
your File's Owner for each of the top level objects (of which there 
are typically few).

For the mainmenu nib, create said outlets on the app delegate instance 
(make sure File's Owner's delegate outlet is connected to your 
delegate instance.
