If you don't have SD, they look like blank generic "document" files. Back in
OS 9 that didn't matter, but I'm pretty sure that in X people told me the
scripts wouldn't run from the script menu like that. (I think it's quite
possible that simply adding .scpt extension will be good enough, although I
don't think the "osas" file type from SD was good enough. It's now been a
very, very long time since I forgot to set the creator type, so maybe this
was just a glitch in OS 10.1 that no longer applies.

Also for editing, too. People would have to know about dragging onto SE or
opening from within SE. And I'm not even certain that works. Certainly not
double-clicking. One good thing is that editing and re-saving in Script
Editor 2.0 an "old-fashioned" script created in SD saves it in the same
format, not the new format.
