I'm not surprised the OP didn't find this … it's my candidate for Most 
Misplaced Cocoa Method. I've always wondered why this isn't an 
instance method on NSWindow, to be sent either to the sheet window
   - (void) 
beginSheetModalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo:
or to the host window
   - (void) beginSheet:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo:

This is an instance [sic] of an OOP design error wherein a particular 
class method that takes an object as a parameter should be changed 
into an instance method on that object.
