IIRC, I've seen it in the Framework code to bring in all the style declarations and their ASDOC comments for things that are bringing in ProgrammaticSkin (I think...this was a couple months ago) to make it easier to add in the styles that this component makes possible. I think this ensures uniformity in the style names. HTH; Amy
