Well, there is the notable exception of top-level objects loaded
from a NIB file, which do need to be released.

Yes, but it's not obvious, which is why I thought to point it out
since we're discussing the times when you should and shouldn't release
objects. The alloc, init, and retain methods are also documented, but
that doesn't mean we can't help people out with them, does it? I just
think that the standard "release something only if you inited or
retained it" advice should be amended to "release something only if
you inited or retained it, or if you got it from a NIB."
I know this confused *me* back when I was starting out, so I just
thought I'd throw that out there.
