I see three possible scenarios:

1. Scripts will have to be rewritten because the appleevent descriptor now indicates that the text is unicode rather than string? For example what happens if you compare unicode to a string, does the string get upgraded to unicode and then the comparison is performed or does the string need to be converted in the script to unicode before doing the comparison: set u to s as Unicode text

2. Will the scripts work just by having to recompile them?

3. Will the scripts just work without having to be recompiled or anything?

My 2 cents on that: I'm afraid the cases where you have to rewrite do not restrict to the example that Chris quotes (Finder being unable to coerce Unicode into an OSType). Unfortunately (or, fortunately), Chris and others know them better than me. For instance, isn't there some problem with "offset", where you do have to specify that you search a Unicode text?
