I really like the sounds of this. Although I'm not sure the mechanism for
builing them is that great, the idea that all the Osax commands we need
could be installed in a FBA and accessible with a simple Tell app
statement would be way cool. I thought Apple was moving this direction and
infact there are FBA's with commands as part of the system.

Well I for one wish that SA developers would release FBA versions of their
additions. That would be a good thing.
