We don't have a design for how these things will be represented in
LZX. We're open to suggestions. Some straw proposals below:

Some questions regarding classes and methods declared in LZX once
JS2 support is complete (well, complete enough for the purposes of
an initial release supporting the SWF9 runtime target).
1) How do method declarations look like when the parameters are typed?
<method name="foo" args="arg1:type1, arg2:type2, arg3:type3 =
default3, ...">
So, just what you would type in the ()'s of a function in JS2. We
have a plan for supporting this in JS1 runtimes as well: http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-5273
2) How do method declarations looks like when the return value is
typed?
<method ... return="type">
3) How are sealed classes declared in LZX?
Probably not at all initially. There are too many dynamic things that
are done in user classes. The current plan is that the internal LFC
classes will all be sealed, and there will be dynamic subclasses at
the API for classes that can be extended in user code.
Eventually, we may be able to tune the user class implementation that
it can be sealed, in which case, _I_ would like that to be the
default, and there be a modifier for keeping it dynamic:
And other questions of this sort that I've forgotten....
Can't think of any right now...
