All right, so my original question still stands after all (and, I'm sorry, I should've done more poking around before posting here). target/action binding behaves differently from a connection: I can't implement validateMenuItem: (it's never called) and I don't see a way to send the control itself as an argument (to emulate the usual selector:(id)sender pattern).
What I want is to be able to preset actions (selectors), like the binding, but get behavior which includes validateMenuItem:. It's not the end of the world if it isn't possible, I'll just hook everything up at runtime with a big pile of [control setAction:@selector(...)]; [control setTarget:target]; in the controller's awakeFromNib.
