I just wanted to make the community aware of the project MXML Azzurro
<https://www.radii8.com/mxml/>. It's an online MXML editor, interpreter and
render that you can use to create and post MXML snippets.

Why do this?

   - So Flex developers can see MXML code rendered live without installing
   a compiler
   - So Flex developers can save and share MXML snippets
   - So non-Flex developers can see MXML syntax and rendered results

Also, HTML markup is far behind MXML and XML in general. Not so much the
rendering but the markup. We need to promote something better natively even
if we are cross compiling to it. HTML doesn't have VGroups or HGroups like
Flex or simple styles like horizontalAlign or verticalAlign. They have
display, box-sizing, floats, shadow dom, no content fit and all of these
other rules to get basic functionality we get for free. They probably won't
listen but if they were wise they could use MXML (mustella, etc) as a
scaffold for a updated syntax and expected syntax behavior.

If it's something that would fit on the Apache website it's welcome.

Note:  It does not support states, declarations, css or AS3 although those
things can be added in time by myself or anyone who has access to github.
It has dependencies to other project libraries but with some work it can be
decoupled.
