It would be especially interesting to see accessibility notifications

If we were to take a poll about GUI Scripting's most important missing
features this would be my #1 item. It is the one ability I miss the
most that we had in Westcode Inc.'s OneClick in prior operating
systems. I recall posting a note about this very subject a couple of
weeks ago. Without this, GUI Scripts are going to waste an enormous
amount of time in delays or loops to ensure that a UI Element is
available before trying to access it. I've already run into this
scripting one of the system's preference panes where I had to insert a
delay 3 into the script to reliably wait until the pane was accessible.
(Before anyone points it out, I'm aware I can script preferences using
do shell script to script defaults, that isn't the point. :) )
There are a number of people on this list that are familiar with GUI
scripting via OneClick. I would hope they would all ante up their 2" on
the subject.
