BBEdit and Script Debugger use ID 0.

I note that the IM discussion doesn't say, which implies
   a.  (strongly) it doesn't matter
   b.  (more weakly) there is only one scsz, not one per AppleScript dialect,
        in a given app.

You don't have to care...you can use the indexed form of GetResource
(GetIndResource, or probably better Get1IndResource to restrict the search
to the "current" resource file) and ask for the first scsz resource.  (You
could also count, and do something different if there is in fact more than
one.)
