I believe Deivy's illustration above shows up that records should
never have been addressable in the forms AppleScript uses. Instead,
they should be key/value pairs which, just to add insult to injury,
is how they are actually used in AppleEvents.
Due to an offlist post by one of the more discrete list members, I
must amend my remark about key/value pairs to be more accurate. What I
should have said is that in AppleEvents it's possible to obtain both
the keys and values of any pairing in a record but in AppleScript,
only possible by using a run script hack. Technically speaking
AERecords are not key/value associations but accessed by iterating
through a list of pairings.
