<installer-gui-script> was the element name initially, but was simplified to <installer-script> before 10.4 went GM.

Unfortunately, a lot of Apple software is built from templates, and things that aren't actively broken are low on the priority list for fixing. Then the templates get copied, and things like this linger for years.

<installer-script> is the correct element name. There's no difference between them.

According to the documentation (release notes), Distribution scripts root tag is:

<installer-script>

Yet, iWork '08 (among other Apple products) uses:

<installer-gui-script>

Is there supposedly a difference between them (such as an installer-gui-script can't be run through the installer command tool)?

Bug filed in Radar.
