Bounding Rectangle

Can someone tell me where the class 'bounding rectangle' is defined? Many
applications define 'bounds' properties of their Class 'window' as having
the class 'bounding rectangle', almost always in the Standard Suite, or
occasionally just 'rectangle'.

OK, where is 'bounding rectangle' defined? Is it always, always going to be
the same two points, or can it be either of the two pairs of opposite
points? (For that matter, where is 'point' defined?) Can it top left and
bottom right OR bottom left and top right, or is only one of those pairs a
valid definition?

I have scoured the ASLG. It's not there. There are a few examples there that
refer to the class 'bounding rectangle' and the class 'rectangle', but they
are not defined. It's not in the Index either. It's not in the AppleScript
Suite as "illicitly" revealed by Smile and nowhere else. (That does show
that 'bounds' property of window on the Standard Suite is of class 'boundary
rectangle', but it never defines 'boundary rectangle' anywhere. In the
"Graphics Suite" 'rectangle' is defined as 'a rectangle'. Thanks a lot.)

What kind of a language is this anyway? What's a 'bounding rectangle' and
who says so?
