If so, that's interesting. Microsoft Excel is, of course, very far
from being Cocoa Scripting - it's as Carbon as they come. And when
its AppleScript implementation was being re-done for Office 2004,
the OS was still Jaguar (got to Panther just before 2004 release,
but the implementation started several years earlier). I don't
know how developed the sdef format was at that time - I'm pretty
sure it was nowhere near the finished article - Jaguar still used
Script Editor 1.9. They were working with aete, not sdef.
The choice of aete or sdef wouldn't make any difference; like I
say, in Carbon apps the dictionary is purely for documentation
purposes.
Pure Carbon applications don't need an aete as of OS X 10.5. They
didn't need one on 10.4 either if the Cocoa .scriptSuite
and .scriptTerminology were generated by sdp but don't think M$ would
have used that technique.
