I don't necessary see extending DisplayObject as a hack. It's creative
leveraging of AS3's native architecture. :)

I think that's because only display objects can bubble events, I don't
think non-visual classes can bubble events (unless they extend a display
object like Sprite, but that's a hack). I don't know why it is this
way, but that has been my understanding. I wish non-visual classes
could bubble too. If someone knows otherwise, please advise.
