If you apply that logic in other contexts, things would get very  
verbose. For example, if you grab a snippet of Java code and send it  
to someone, they might not immediately know if it was Java or  
JavaScript or C++ or ...  You wouldn't want to prefix each use of the  
"if" keyword with a something to indicate the programming language.

In this particular case I think the potential for confusion is greatly  
minimized having the snippet appear in a posting on this mailing list  
or in a file with a ".mxml" file extension.
