How to get window id and tab number of terminal window using AppleScript via ScriptingBridge?

I can open the Terminal tab using the following AppleScript:

tell application "Terminal"
    set myTab to do script "exec sleep 1"
    get myTab
end tell

It returns a string: tab 1 of window id 3263 of application "Terminal". This is great, I see the id 3263 window and tab number 1 (although I don’t know how to query myTab to get only these values).

In Cocoa ScriptingBridge, I can do:

SBApplication  *terminal;
SBObject       *tab;

terminal = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.terminal"]
tab = [terminal doScript:@"exec sleep 1" in:nil]

How to get window id and tab number from tab object?

Edit 2009/4/27 - Why?

In answer to the question why I want to do this, I open the command in the terminal window (as indicated above) and return the tab object. However, I want to move / resize this window, so I need to access the object of the "window" tab.
