Records

I don't work with records too often and I've run into
a couple of puzzling situations:

1.
A project I started earlier this year (in OS X 10.3) used records constructed
with vertical bar characters, for example: {|a|:somevalue, ...}.
AppleScript will no longer create new labels like this, but the old labels
still work.  Why?

2. Suppose r is a record only one of whose labels is known.
For example, r = {a:somevalue, ... }.
I need to create a new record that contains everything in r
except property a. (I really, really need this!)
One would think this would be as easy as something like ...
    set n to r
    delete a of n
which, of course, doesn't work. Any ideas?
