Hello Marcus, I agree that this would be something valuable in a formal context (for List or maybe a sub-class) for the SDK.
In the meantime though, I managed to cobble together something quickly for a mobile mock-up that I was working on from this post: http://corlan.org/2011/07/04/creating-flex-mobile-section-lists/ There are things there that might not be best practice, but this as an idea for how to work it with renderers. I got round the sizing of the "header" against my "items" by using the minHeight property on the renderer. By the way everyone - congratulations on 4.10!
