Sal Soghoian said that "i-apps communicates using AppleScirpt each

It is partly true but partly (maybe almost of them) not true.
I had been thinking about meta-data file system in Mac OS X 10.4. I
thought
some apps will communicate by not using AppleEvent but using XML data
exchange.
So, I thought that "tell document clause without telling application"
will
be appear in Mac OS X 10.4.
tell document "iTunes Library.xml"--without telling any application
set aList to every song list
end tell
It will be speedy than using AppleEvent.
Interesting comments. Microsoft, for its part, is deprecating its
current interapplication communication architecture[1], COM, in favor
of XML.
