It's that 80% number that worries me.  The framework should be as flexible
as possible and the fix you proposed makes constraints that prior versions
did not have (that the number of decimal places in the step size must
match the number of decimal places in the display format).  Yes the user
can change their code to workaround the new constraint, but it is a
backward compatibility issue like the ones that burned us during 4.10.0
voting.

If we revert that fix, one of us should investigate how the
AdvancedStyleClient is supposed to work with the Flash globalization
objects.  I still think that's the right place to fix this problem.
There's more details in the thread from a few weeks ago.

I think Cyrill already has a bunch of issues open on Falcon and the SDK.
