Hi Alex, without doubt these are great ideas, since my understanding is that, although FlexJS should in most cases hide in components the complexity os HTML/JS internals, many times people would want to declare "low level" JS. To create those components, I'm not ready enough. I'm still trying to generate an MDL project, and I have something compiling but not working as expected in a local branch generated by me.
