Including that undocumented methods are not to be discussed here, period. That 
should be clear to the usual posters. And unless something has changed, the 
guidelines are still sent to new subscribers.

Since a few folks have complained (some inappropriately), I’ll clarify why this 
exact thread is not something that should be discussed here, aside from the way 
to get here is via private APIs. There have been other messages between that 
have also been an issue. But most importantly, the UI discussion list was 
closed down and I don’t want this public forum to suffer the same fate. I think 
that the iTunes UI discussion is dangerously close to the edge

The confines of the Human Interface Guidelines is what is appropriate for 
discussion on the list.

As you can see, this discussion (after I’d posted twice that this wasn’t 
appropriate) led to the use of undocumented API. (and some rather inappropriate 
hate mail that will, unfortunately, result in moderation) 

To repeat, it is list policy (search for it, I’ll repost it when I have access 
to it later today) that undocumented API is not discussed on this list.

If users want to discuss, in a non-application specific manner, implementing 
similar UI, only using public API, well, even though it is not a recommendation 
of the Human Interface Guidelines, it isn’t off topic. 

I understand if this seems capricious. I can only apologize for that.
