Hi Ed,
I am beginning to do just that with my current scripting additions. And all
future scripting additions I release will be packaged as scriptable faceless
background applications.
Scriptable FBAs have many benefits over standard scripting additions, and
not many drawbacks. One big benefit is that moving a scriptable FBA to Mac
OS X is easy - I still know of no way to make standard scripting additions
run native under Mac OS X.
My latest scripting addition, System Language 1.0, is an open-source
scriptable FBA. It's freeware, open source (hack away! =), and licensed
under the GNU General Public License. Check it out here:

I'll be rewriting the rest of my scripting additions as scriptable faceless
background applications as I find the time. FindFile will probably be the
first, others to follow.
