No, you're not missing anything, you're absolutely right. However, there  
is a way around this. When you build a palette, you can include code for  
classes other than the actual palette View objects. Those classes become  
part of the runtime image of IB, and can be called from Run mode. In the  
extreme, you could make a palette that includes all of the classes from  
your application, load it into IB, and actually run your app inside IB!  
Cool, no?
