Thanks, but this is not the case.

The validateDrop method returns a NSDragOperation value that I compute. That is 
not the same value that the [<draggingInfo> draggingSourceOperationMask] 
returns, though that is certainly one of the many inputs I use when working out 
the validation.

The two methods do much the same work so there's a good opportunity to factor 
the code as Jens suggests, but locally saving the return value from validation 
works OK and appears to be all I can do.
