If, as David asks, you never use text item delimiters without setting the value first (and he might, and should, have added _IMMEDIATELY_before_using_them_), then it makes no difference.

set text item delimiters to tab
set bar to text items of "one two three four five six seven eight nine ten"

set foo to dothis ()

set foobar to text items of "a b c d e f g h i j k"

on dothis ()
set text item delimiters to space
return text items of "My dog has fleas."
end dothis

I maintain that within dothis, text item delimiters should be saved and restored.
