I don't know where or whether it's documented, but it's not new.
Using Space for "clicking" whichever control has focus has been around
for a while. I don't remember offhand -- it may depend on the setting
in System Preferences that governs whether all controls can get
keyboard focus.

Is that your personal opinion or is this documented anywhere?
Apple's documentation of NSApplicationMain() clearly states that
this function "loads the main nib file
It may load it any way.
You don't have to have a nib unless your plist says you will.
