I am unable to give as detailed an account of where we ran into a similar
situation, but I can vouch for the conclusion:  Integration of the
controller and the model. 

Now, it seems that there are some other paradigms out there which replace
the MVC (or should that be V(MC)?) model.  The MacApp approach is one, and
one which I intend finding out more about.  Does anyone have any other
models in mind?  Would you mind sharing it with us, and we (as the OOP
community) can go about agreeing on and adopting a new standard.
