To be fair, there are no longer a significant number of OS 9
applications that have evolving GUIs :)
Basically, whatever is left on OS 9 is in stasis. The risks of
scripting to the OS 9 GUI today are few. In OS X, not so much. Apple
has been quite bold (some would say cavalier) in changing their
application GUIs between individual releases. The Finder is a good
example; I don't think it's been close to the same, visually, in any
10.x release. (10.2->10.3 might have been subtle; I honestly can't
remember 10.2 that well.)
