I wonder if this is merely meant as a warning against relying on applications participating in considering/ignoring statements, or whether it's a prohibition against supporting it in applications?
If it's your object, you get the compare call with your token and the literal. You check the comparison attribute and follow the ones that are set. AppleScript does essentially the same thing. All this note is saying is that AppleScript pays attention to the considering flags when comparing its stuff.
This note apparently does not contain sufficiently strong language to inform you that applications must also do so in their compare procedure for it to work on their objects.
