As much as I loathe AS as a language, I have to agree here. AS (or AE) 
would let TM integrate not only with scripts, but other apps in a 
standardized way.

Has anyone ever looked closely at F-Script? Seems to be a framework 
providing a very low-cost (in terms of implementation) bridge between 
Cocoa and the smalltalkish F-Script language. So if Allan wanted, 
instead of specifying an editor API, he could probably expose the whole 
object graph to plugins written with F-Script. I guess it's not so 
different from PyObjC etc., but it does look elegant.

Also, with a future TM supporting AS, there should be some clever 
things we could pull off with Tiger's Automator, right? Anyone?
