One way to think of the difference is that RSLs define classes, and modules define interfaces. An RSL is loaded by Flex before app startup because classes you might need such as UIComponent may be in the RSL, and you must link to them as classes and not interfaces since they are base classes or other dependent classes Now you can take a module and load it into the main app domain (which is described in the shared code example in my slides), but then it has lost some of its module-ness because it probably can't be unloaded. I actually think we should formalize this as it should be more of a late-loaded RSL than a specially loaded module.
