I am not an applescript expert, but I believe this is exactly the same 
implementation.
BTW, if it is not, there should be only minor differences such that 
both syntax should definitely be implemented,

I had a look at the insides of BBEdit's applescript dictionary when I 
started applescript implementation.
Nothing was really targeted towards TeX and there was some problems 
concerning soft vs hard wrapping.
Moreover, other "details" seemed to be unnatural and annoying.
Maybe things have changed now, is there a BBEdit pro listening to 
enlight us?
