Originally AppleScript could only perform actions that were intentionally exposed by the authors of an application. IOW AppleScript has access to an API that is explicitly exposed by the authors. If you open Script Editor, then open the dictionary of an application, that is what you will see. AFAIK this is still the way AppleScript is usually used. IIUC What happened in 10.3 is that the accessibility hooks were exposed to AppleScript allowing control of an app by manipulating its GUI elements.
