If I remember correctly, osaxen are meant to implement only events; classes
are somehow faked (and are usually or always records - the result types of
events.) In any case latitude and longitude are properties of just such a
faked class. As you noticed, the class itself has no standing. (What does
SD's dictionary show for it in the "Apple Events" popup item? Standard
Additions' 'dialog reply' shows '(askr)' in parentheses; and <<class askr>>
compiles as 'dialog reply' a keyword. But Manifest can't find it either.)
Perhaps to SD its properties look like regular user-defined record labels,
although to AppleScript they look like keywords. Or Manifest just can't see
these osax classes, only events.
