I don't understand this statement--I didn't think that NSTableColumn has a 
"selected object" binding--there doesn't seem to be one in the bindings 
inspector--and if it did, what would it do? Did you mean "value" binding, or 
NSPopupButtonCell, instead?

I can't make sense of this either--just the last bit about "assignable to the 
'selected object'."

Are you simply describing here the details of popup bindings, or something 
specific to getting bindings to work with an NSPopupButtonCell in an 
NSTableView? I don't recall ever being successful at using bindings in this 
case, but then maybe I didn't try hard enough or just gave up too soon and 
developed a belief that it wasn't possible...
