The 'aedt' resource is from one or more of the PowerPlant, MacAPP, and TCL
application frameworks (I *think* that all three wound up using it...I
think MacApp was the first:  Navigator uses PowerPlant, I believe...the old
Mosaic browser used MacApp).

It maps from event class/event id pairs to internal command numbers (making
incoming events more like menu commands, which are likewise mapped to
command numbers).

The event's presence in the aedt most likely means that the browser
supports the event.

'core' 'crel' is make in the English 'aeut'

Method...in Script Editor compile:

set foo to <<event corecrel>>

and see what it gets decompiled to when the text is rewritten after the
compile.  Those are really the left and right guillmots (or chevrons).
