At the risk of pulpifying this long-dead horse, for clarity's sake I 
don't believe it's the *executable• within an AppleScript applet bundle 
that is being modified.  AFAIK that isn't possible in any UNIX-based system.

It would appear that these properties are stored in a data file within 
the bundle (the .rsrc file?) and it's the data file that's being 
modified, just as one can do with any non-standalone Rev stack.

With regard to self-modification, Rev has no limitations not imposed on 
any other app by the OS itself.
