OK, I plead guilty. Serial offender, in fact. So let me follow up a point you raised that isn't particularly technical.
In one message you wrote:
> The primary purpose for ASOC scripts is to replace Scripting Additions with libraries
And later you wrote:
> In particular, most of these [improvements] are focused on making it possible to write libraries that can replace scripting additions, with a lot less code compared to writing event handlers in C.
I know people are going to look at those statements and wonder about that word "replace". So is this a statement of intent (in which case you probably can't say so in as many words, I know), of preference for the future, or are you merely suggesting it's offering an easier path and hence lowering the degree of effort required to expand AppleScript's capabilities?
