Erm, why?
Why should it be called an 'accessory', rather than a 'model', what's the difference
other than the nomanclature you want to use?

"A view queries the model in order to generate an appropriate user interface"
In M-V-C, and Model is fundamentally a source of information to be used by the
View.
"The *model* manages the behavior and data of the application domain, responds to requests
for information about its state (usually from the view), and responds to instructions to
change state (usually from the controller)."
An arbitrary helper subroutine used by the Controller is not a Model. Since it is
side-effect only, it matches one of the links in the graph (Controller TO Model) so it
"fits" in the architecture provides the proper connectivity. But that is a kludge, not
its proper usage.
