So, I can see that "scope" applies to text items delimiters, but still, what's with the various labels?

--------------------------
script
alpha
--set text item delimiters to "1" --> {"", "", ""}
--set my text item delimiters to "2" --> {"", "", ""}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "3" --> {"", "", ""}
end script
{text item delimiters, my text item delimiters, AppleScript's text item delimiters}
--------------------------

So, is it even possible to use a some TIDs other than AppleScript's when getting text items?

I'm not the best one to explain it. The short answer is "scope".

So what's in a label? It seems to me that the labels given to the text item delimiters could be misleading since they all seem to do the same thing:

-----------------
--set text item delimiters to "1" --> {"1", "1", "1"}
--set my text item delimiters to "2" --> {"2", "2", "2"}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "3" --> {"3", "3", "3"}
{text item delimiters, my text item delimiters, AppleScript's text item delimiters}
-----------------
