Your initial reaction is completely understandable given Apple's history 
  with such things.

Remember GURLGURL?  That was the Apple event ID and class for sending 
the default browser to any page, local or remote, for many years.

That is, until OS X.  Without even posting a tech note Apple yanked 
GURLGURL support for local web pages, requiring all developers who had 
been relying on it to rewrite their code to use the AppleScript "open 
location..." instead.

That was a hard lesson to learn, but a valueable one: trust nothing in 
any OS vendor's API, as ultimately everything is subject to change 
without notice.

By jumping in with a fix as soon as the issue was known, the Rev team 
pulled off something the Apple team couldn't be bothered with:  revGoURL 
  continues to support your call to it regardless of which OS version 
you're calling it from.
