The developer might have been making a distinction between Apple
Events and AppleScript.
Scripting Bridge, for example, would allow you to pull this
information from Safari without using AppleScript. AppleScript and
the Scripting Bridge use the same basic mechanism to talk to Safari,
which is Apple Events.
I don't think there's much reason to avoid using Apple Events in some
form for this task. Seems well suited.
