Hello Andre,
I retested to be sure that I was calling the drawer from the main  
stack but still no luck in OSX below 10.4

I notice you used the form

> drawer stack "Attribute editor" at right of stack "HTML Editor"

I have found that the word "of" is not reliable and that "in" (drawer  
stack "Attribute editor" at right in stack "HTML Editor") works best.
