Well this cast is fairly pointless as it makes no change to the data at all. Returning an NSMutableData object from an NSData method is perfectly legitimate as it is a subclass. So you might as well just do:

        return myData;

Really, it's up to you. You can just use the simple option of returning a mutable object, or you can do either of these:

        return [NSData dataWithData:myData];

        return [[myData copy] autorelease];


My concern is that the returned object be truly immutable. For now, I'm the only one using the class, but that may change in the future.
