Hi Carlos,

I just saw your tweet with the MDL example in front of the MXML for it.

There seemed like a lot of MXML in the example.  I was wondering if you
considered baking in the Prompt and Disable beads into your example to
make it less verbose.

The reason the Basic components have TextPromptBead and DisableBead is
because not all instances of TextInputs and Buttons have prompts or are
disabled, but primarily because there are different implementations of
TextPrompts and Disable.  Some TextPrompts will go away on focus.  Others
go away when you start to type.  Some restore the prompt if you delete all
content from the TextInput, some don't.  Some people want to "blur" the
visuals of Buttons when disabled, others want to change to a different
visual.

If MDL has one and only one implementation of TextPrompts and/or Disable
then you could just add floatingLabel and enable properties to your MDL
TextInput and Buttons and save several lines of MXML.

There is no right answer, though, and you can always do both.
