I'm in the middle of trying to a FlexJS mobile example to look nice on
both iOS and Android, but I will add this to my todo list! I'm sure we can
collaborate on it along with anyone else familiar with forms and how they
think it should go in the flex world. Personally, I like to do as little
as possible as a developer, so maybe Form is a bigger player and not
suitable for the basic component set.
