No, I am saying that it works as advertised for objects that it
works for. NSButton is not one of them, and never has been. You seem
to assume that all user interface items should, but they don't, and
never have, and the documentation has never said that they did. The
documentation is explicit:
"The protocols NSUserInterfaceValidations and
NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem provide a standard way to validate user
interface items—that is, to set their state as appropriate for the
current application context"
The documentation does state that, and the reference for
NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem further states:
"The NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem protocol works with
theNSUserInterfaceValidations protocol to enable or disable a control
automatically, depending on whether any responder in the responder
chain can handle the control’s action method. The NSMenuItem and
NSToolbarItem classes implement this protocol."

But it doesn't work at all for user controls in general, and the
docs are misleading (i.e., wrong) about that.
although I'm not sure I'd agree with Bill that the docs are *wrong*,
they certainly could be more helpful in making it clear what the
limitations are, so I'd still suggest filing an enhancement request.
(Hmm, or appending to '<rdar://problem/2801472> UIValidation: Need a
bit more context', which is easily old enough to go to Summer Camp
this year...)
