That's correct.  We need to mark certain beads as only for certain
platforms and/or only for framework developers.  IMO, adding empty beads
would only make the code look like it had excess fat.  It wouldn't be very
PAYG.  Eventually, it would all add up to something.  I don't know about
you, but when I pack for a trip, I do not take the same quantity and list
of things as my wife.  The platforms are different, at some point the code
has to be different, and we want to encapsulate and re-use the code that
is different.

The question for Yishay is, what did you use SingleLineBorderBead for in
your app?  Was it just to draw a rectangle or something else?  It may just
mean we need another component.
