3. Only the first character of any delimiter will be considered. This

Well, I'd love to see multiple character delimiters, both as in {"a",
"b"} as in {"and","or"}
Well 2. It is possible to detect that a) a particular script was made
before a particular date (release date of SE 2.0 non-beta) and that
this script is susceptible to the above issue (breaking), b) signal an
appropriate warning when recompiling.
You/Apple always have valid excuse if you fix a bug. It is a bug!
Don't let it linger on because of those scripts that 'rely' on it. Or
you could phase out the AppleScript text item delimiters, and replace
them with something great.
