I've changed it to 1-based, as at least some editors seem to expect  
that, including apparently TextMate. It also makes more sense for  
AppleScript. I don't think we can satisfy everybody, especially as  
it's generic and involves many different apps.

This is what agutex.cls does:
* The 'abstract' environment is defined as setting the command  
\theabstract to the content of the block.
* The command \article is defined to call, among other things,  
\theabstract
* In latex, \begin{anything} is defined as calling the command  
\anything plus some bookkeeping

This means that the actual typesetting of the abstract takes place  
when \begin{article} is called. This is why synctex associates the
whole abstract with \begin{article}.

Now, iTeXMac2 can get it more precise because it sends along part of  
the text and character index and searching a word at the other side.  
Of course it can do that because it combines viewer and editor.
