I've bypassed an aete entirely and return errAEEventNotHandled from gdut and still receive gsdf. Nonetheless, it would be cool if it was sent before gdut for the reasons mentioned above. I know I could use gdut but it seems like it would be better to associate sdef stuff with gsdf.

I don't have any strong opinion about whether it should be before or after, but I don't see any obvious reason why receiving one should depend on responding to the other (at the very least, that dependency should be documented).

I tend to think before because older apps wouldn't know about it. And newer apps that had to run on older systems could then have an option when running on the latest. But that does bring up the question of backwards compatibility. Apps don't normally alter their plist at runtime. Seems to me that means no app can use the OSAScriptingDefinition dynamic value if they have to be backwards compatible. Does that seem right? I'm kinda of tired right now and can't think more than 4 bytes ahead.
