One more thing along those lines:

Python OSA uses "start" as the function to activate an application, 
but I've come across a few applications which use start themselves as 
a function.  THe StdSuites definition of "start" shaddows the 
application's function in these cases.  How about changing "start" to 
"activate"?  That's what AppleScript calls the same function anyway; 
it seems more clear to me.
