Since they ignore the options you pass to -addObserver:forKeyPath:options:context:, you will never get the old and new values even if you ask for them by providing NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew or NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld. As mentioned before, for the same reason you can't use NSKeyValueObservingOptionPrior to work around this.
