These are my opinions, but 2 main things:
- only check in code that works. If a developer checks in code that doesn't
compile or work, he needs to fix it.

The only time built-in getter/setters really shine is with binding in Flex.
You can bind to methods, but the runtime binding triggers change events for

It depends. If you are using components, you just need to ensure all of
