I think OSAX should be included, and when I see those kinds of commands in the dictionary I react the same way as if a developer put the "File" menu where the "Help" menu should be. I also wonder if they can't get that right, what else have they gotten wrong?

 Terminology conflicts are fairly rare and fairly easy for the "Osax" developer to avoid.

At this point the "OSAX" become a FBA and should be developed and distributed as such, which is probably the best way to go for the library loaders.
