That may be so, but many of the variations in AS are a direct result of the
guidelines being ignored.

And I'll do a little repetition too: if they'd all follow the guidelines, it
would still make things easier. I don't want to have six copies of
documentation sitting here telling me what form of file reference six apps
want for the open event; I want them all to accept what the guidelines say
they should. Cut/copy/paste belong on the Edit menu; documentation telling
me why the developer decided to put them somewhere else is not the right
answer.
