GUI Scripting is built directly on top of the new accessibility API's that
were introduced in Jaguar. A lot of Carbon and Cocoa widget code had to be
revised so that existing applications would automatically become accessible
to persons with disabilities. As I understand it, this did in fact take a
lot of work. The effort was justified because Apple (like everybody else)
has to comply with the new federal standards if they want to sell products
to the federal government, and to many state agencies and educational
institutions.
I'm not aware that this has much to do with AppleScript Studio. I'm sure the
technologies will converge, though, because they have shared needs.
