NSOpenPanel & Panther: A symlink is now an alias?

Let's take into consideration the following case:

On Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar, the computer centric OS), when you select a symlink in a NSOpenPanel, you get a symlink when you get the path via the filename or filemanes APIs.

On Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther, the user centric OS), when you select a symlink in a NSOpenPanel, you get the real file or folder when you get the path via the filename or filemanes APIs.

Question: Is the API right or wrong in Mac OS X 10.3?

Yes, the default value for resolvesAliases is set to YES. But aliases are not symlinks otherwise their spellings would be the same.
