org-(mac)-protocol is certainly the mechanism to get the information
into org-mode, but I'm not sure that AppleScript is the best way of
tracking application focus. To be honest, my AppleScript is even more
cludgy than my elisp, but from what I understand, the best that can be
done is to write a script that makes a call every, say, 10 seconds to
check which window is in focus.

I'll put it on my todo list, but please don't hold your breath - I've
just entered a hellishly busy four months.
