Actually you have it backwards, AppleScript's text item delimiters are
in fact a list. The catch is they currently ignore anything other than
the first item. AppleScript is smart enough to silently coerce "" to
{""} when you use your example, not the other way round. :)
Try this in your script editor sometime -
return AppleScript's text item delimiters
--> {""}
