So what apps, exactly, do you script?

Are you suggesting we take paths returned as aliases or file references,
convert them to POSIX paths, fiddle with them there (which means taking
extra precautions about things like slashes in names) and then turn them
back to aliases, file references or HFS paths because that's all most apps
will accept (and what, last time I looked, the guidelines say they should
all accept)?

What the hell -- better to have something that doesn't work than something
that's "kinda legacy", huh?
