Unicode text and class URL
Unicode text and class URL

I set a variable to a URL string with:
set x to "
http://www.apple.com";
In the script editor x is created as an object of class string. I can
then successfully create an object of class URL from it with:
x as URL
If I grab a URL from Safari with:
"tell app 'safari' to set x to URL of document 1"
it returns a Unicode text string. Converting that to an object of class
URL with:
x as URL
fails with the error message "Can't make ..... into a URL". Even if I
coerce that Unicode text string to a plain text string, "x as URL" will
still fail with the same error.
Is this an issue with Safari? with AppleScript? Shouldn't I be able to
grab the URL string from Safari and coerce it to class URL?
Thanks in advance for any explanation, if there is one.
