I have no ready knowledge to offer on these topics, but I can
recommend some experiments...
1) Have you tried entering a hyperlink into your editor, copying it to
the clipboard, and then examining the clipboard contents from
AppleScript? It might be something you can reproduce...
2) Can you set the system to display e.g. the Hebrew date instead of
the Gregorian in the menu bar? Does that change what you get for the
date in AppleScript? As a fallback,
I know there are shell tools available for converting calendar dates.
(And Islamic dates are tricky. Does it have an option to correct the
system's calendar when it disagrees with the actual local moon
sighting?)
