It's not 'instead'.  It's both.  When a new document is created, Cocoa invokes 
-initWithType:error:.  When you override this method, you must invoke super.  
-[NSPersistentDocument initWithType:error:] will then invoke -init.  Likewise 
if you override -init, invoke super.

Actually it's rather handy for doing *some* initializations which you want done 
in both new and old documents.  I say *some* because your persistence stack is 
not yet functioning at this point.
