As a software developper who wrote a couple of scripting additions
I really feel offended when I hear that my work is not 100%
AppleScript.
I think that the point is that if you're writing a script for other
people to use, you can't make any assumptions as to what OSAX they
might have in addition to what is included with the operating system.
One thing that's kind of odd about third party modules for scripting
languages is that OS X includes them in the distribution for shell
script languages (/Library/Internet Plug-ins, /Library/Perl, /Library/
Java, etc.) but not for AppleScript. I think it would be nice to have
some vetted osaxen in /Library/ScriptingAdditions. The facilities that
Apple has available permit them to scan code to see if it's going to
make any suspicious calls or write to verboten areas.
