Something you can do right now (thank you for the perfect segue)
is to change the style for application keywords to be underlined.
Because it will also underline the space, you can tell, for
example, that "path to" is a single term, while "path of" is two.
(I did this a while ago while tracking down a terminology bug, and
discovered it was generally useful.)
However, you can't underline keywords using Script Editor's user
interface. I needed the ApplescriptFormatting OSAX to do it.
Hrmph. I have to admit I just had the same problem, though my
solution was to edit the preference file. [1] We're looking into it.

[1] How to do it:
0. Quit Script Editor.
1. Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.applescript.plist. It should
have an AppleScriptTextStyles entry. If not, see 1a.
1a. Change one of the styles somehow (color, font...), quit Script
Editor, relaunch it, put it back, quit again, and go back to step 1.
2. AppleScriptTextStyles is an array of entries in the same order
they're listed in the preferences; "application keywords" is the
fourth one. (Index 3, since they start at zero.)
3. Each entry is a string formatted as "fontname;style;size;RGB
color". The default for application keywords is "Verdana;p;12;0 0
65535", in other words, 12 point plain Verdana in blue. "p" for the
style means "plain"; change it to "u" for "underline". (You could
also add "b" for bold or "i" for italic if you felt like it.)
4. Save and close the file.
