Another thing to remember about FlexJS is that there doesn’t have to be
one way of doing things. We are offering different component sets and
different themes/defaults.css files to let folks choose different starting
points based on their needs.
I haven’t checked the licensing, provenance, and browser support for these
reset files. If you find one you really like that we can use, great, and
folks should be able to opt-in to any that aren’t quite so clean. Right
now, we aren’t using anything but div and span from that list for the
widgets, but folks can put, in theory, any HTML can be used content for
the text widgets (although AS-side rendering won’t be any good right now)
so maybe that will help there.
