Re: ObjC 2.0 Class +encodeWithCoder:

No. Every where you can provide an instance, you should be able to 
provide a Class to.
For example, it's perfectly legal to register a Class as a 
notification observer (and use a Class method as target).
It also perfectly legal to register a Class as a delegate and 
implements Class method instead of instance methods to handle message.

An Class method is just an instance method of the Class Object.
