Is it fair to say that this caution is about the OP's specific goal of using Apple's prefPanes within another app in that they may have been custom-built to play nice with a custom version of System Preferences? Or does the documentation at <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/PreferencePanes/PreferencePanes.html> need to be updated? Oh, wait. Better question: Is <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/PreferencePanes/Tasks/OtherApps.html> simply wrong? "You can reuse preference panes intended for System Preferences just like the Mac OS X Setup Assistant does with the Date & Time preference pane."
