I saw your other comment, and I'm glad to see your comments line up with my general feeling of your voice and attitude in your post. The only reason I make any comments on it is because the general attitude of learning and experimenting was great and that one part just seemed like a sudden break from it.

I agree that a real explanation would have been out of scope and probably even more odd. My only suggestion (not that it is really better or you want it :) ) is to to pay it lip service with something like, "The syntax is odd, but it is just specifying options with a bitwise OR" With the "bitwise OR" as a link to documentation for the cocoa options or some article explaining bitwise operations.

Most importantly, it was a good article and I'm going to do a little bit of research for myself on writing these simple OSX apps with JS. First thing is to figure out just what is required for these applications and try to decouple it away from that script editor.
