That's not very alternative. If it really hurts you to concatenate "." twice
in a string (why?) and you prefer to coerce a list to a string, I can't see
why you wouldn't just do so directly rather than first implicitly coerce to
list via non-existent concatenation of integers. But the difference is petty
again.
set text item delimiters to "."
set v1 to system attribute "sys1"
set v2 to system attribute "sys2"
set v3 to system attribute "sys3"
set v to {v1, v2, v3} as string
And then you might forget to reset tids again before the next time you try
'characters of someText as string'...
