Sorry for my vagueness, I've limited access to everything at the moment as
I'm at the Java Symposium in Las Vegas just now so am just guessing from the
context of these messages.

As such I think I get the queueCallback method now, and with that in mind,
what purpose do the setTimeout/Interval, clearTimeout/Interval methods
actually serve?  Is it just to facilitate JavaScript/Ajax/Flex developers
transition to Pivot?  If so, I think they are fairly redundant - do we hope
to win these people over?  I somehow can't imagine an Ajax developer
particularly going out of their way to pick up Pivot in the first place.
It should just be documented that Timers and queueCallback are the approach
for those people who search for those methods, IMHO.

And I agree with the comment about setXXX being for properties, Pivot
shouldn't be mixing metaphores just because this is an RIA project.  =)

Cheers,
Chris
