Yeah, I was stretching for the interpretation my conscience would be 
most comfortable with :).  I think it's worth filing a Radar 
requesting notifications analogous to 
NSTableViewSelectionIsChangingNotification and 
NSTableViewSelectionDidChangeNotification.

I did a quick search for a third-party alternative to NSBrowser, along 
the lines of what Rainer Brockerhoff did with RBSplitView.  I thought 
maybe there would be something at Cocoatech <http://www.cocoatech.com/opensource.php
