Thanks for running this down, Alexey.  I see where
you're coming from with the "expression" attribute,
though I'm not sure I agree it should live all the way
up in AbstractScriptComponent, because we can't use it
to automatically drive anything.  I am going to add it
to ScriptCondition directly; if we change our minds
later pulling it up shouldn't cause any problems.
