That's definitely a strong argument, but here's the counter-argument: IMO, a pain point in Flex was that styles had to be specified on the component when the style implementation was actually in the skin/theme. The skinning model is different in FlexJS anyway so I think that gives us license to change the styling model as well. If you ever set a style on a Flex component that wasn't in your custom theme, or tried to add a new style to a skin/theme that wasn't declared on the component, then you know what pain I'm talking about. With FlexJS, some new browser might come up with a new custom CSS property and you won't be able to set it in MXML without us rev-ing the entire SDK. Yes, you should be able to set it in the .CSS file, but just not in-line. Thoughts? -Alex
