Makes sense to me.  I was never entirely happy with contentSize() 
because it doesn't provide a way of forcing constraints on the applet 
easily.  At the time, I just wanted a way for the applet not to care 
about the border - they were all implementing boundingRect(), which 
meant they couldn't easily request or demand a certain size for the 
contents if Applet was drawing a background with a border.

If I'd thought about it, I'd have gone this route in the first place.
