There are discrepancies between the Application Kit documentation and what
can be accessed through the Interface Builder.  For example, the class
browser does not show PopUpList at all, while the manual shows it as a
subclass of Menu.  Can PopUpLists be used in the IB?

A related question: what criteria are used in deciding in what goes into
the Views panel?  Are all AppKit classes supposed to be represented there?

ScrollView is documented as a general scrolling view, with optional
vertical and horizontal sliders and with any content view possible.  The IB
has on its Views palette an icon that looks like it's for scrolling text,
and the default instance variable name for it is ScrollingText, but the
Inspector window says "ScrollView Inspector", even though the Attributes
subpanel talks about text attributes.  Is ScrollingText a subclass of
ScrollView?  If so, why doesn't it show up as such in the Classes browser?
Can a regular ScrollView be used in the IB?
