NSScriptClassDescription is the only concrete subclass of
NSClassDescription provided in Cocoa. It encapsulates an
application’s scripting information.
So it's only useable with AppleScripting. If you don't define an
applescript dictionary, I don't think you'll get anything out of it.

Also, I can read in the Key-Value Coding Programming Guide, page
39, that "For example the 'attributes' method return the list of
all attributes defined for a class", but this method belongs to
the class NSMetaDataItem, which is another worry to get !
I continue searching for the light, but wouldn't wonder if anyone
here could give me the light.
Scott,
I did read it, didn't understand, and now I am left with an
ignorance worse than before.
From my understanding of, unless you explicitly implement your own
NSClassDescription subclass, or provide an AppleScript dictionary (so
that the system can use the NSScriptClassDescription),
NSClassDescription isn't going to provide anything useful at all
(since it doesn't try to get the limited "For free" information that
could be obtained by playing with the runtime system which would be
incomplete and inconsistent).
