If there is noone else to do it right now, I will, yes. In particular as it 
seems like I was the only app developer who is intensely using this class (or 
say, who is trying to get most outof it :-) But be aware that I probably do 
not understand this code much better than you ;-)
But seriously, I can do it and maybe I should also take some care of 
NSTableView as NSOutlineView's ancestor. I've come across some strange stuff 
here too, but didn't dig into it, yet. BTW, who is the originator of those 
classes? Maybe he can be of some help for understanding the code.

Cheers,
