The next "big experiment" is trying to cross-compile an app that uses one of the app frameworks like Swiz, Parsely, etc. Someone pointed out that they use metadata and and I assume they must use describetype to fetch said metadata. My hope is to avoid use of describetype in the FlexJS classes we write or consider a lighter weight implementation for the few things we might need (I recently checked in a lightweight getQualifiedClassName for CSS TypeSelector support in JS), but I think we need to see if we can support the existing app frameworks. I'm not sure we'd need full describetype support, probably just enough to get the metadata. -Alex
