Binding should work through Interface Builder, but I was only speaking of the example in the original post. Traditional-style attr_writers invoked by Ruby code bypass key-value observers, but it seems intuitive to me to allow them to notify observers given how pervasive key-value coding is in Cocoa, and that the infrastructure is implemented in the base class for every object in the MacRuby runtime.
