this included osaxen and how that technology would be implemented.

To peek your interest, check out the news cover on macscripter.net. <g>

So AppleScript gets a "plug-in" architecture. Anyone in the know care to expand on how this works?

Also, I'm intrigued by:

"Plus, AppleScript X still has a couple of great surprises hidden up its sleeve as it permeates the Mac experience"

This, combined with the fact that AppleScript recently got "top billing" (along with the Aqua GUI) on one of those Apple abstraction layer diagrams, makes me curious.

What's AppleScript's new role in the scheme of things? How does it tie in with the other event models on the OS? What about running faceless, background apps without a user logged in?

Cat killing curiosity.
