Interesting discussion, thanks.  Not surprising, I suppose, if there's 
some split on a "matter of taste" like whether it's legitimate to have 
an object manage its own lifecycle ([self autorelease]).  FWIW, I 
chose Quincey's solution, [[alloc]init]autorelease] in Controller, and 
[[super init]retain] plus [self autorelease] in UI.  This keeps the 
number of lines you have to scan to verify retain/release balance to a 
minimum, anyway.

GC compatibility can wait until I have more time to think about the 
new GC.  Since I'm still supporting Panther clients, this may be a 
long time....
