I’d prefer if we could somehow get the best of both worlds. Sorry Harbs, but I don't get it. I think the agreement is already to 'have the best of both worlds'. The issue is what the default should be. I know that you don't think you could have both behaviours as the default :).
If we take away personal preferences, and think in terms of where developers will be coming from for FlexJS, and if we assume that this includes a large proportion of people who are already familiar with actionscript and therefore have expectations based on that familiarity, then I don't see how having default behaviour that is different to those expectations will be helpful to the uptake in use of flexjs. If it is not the case then we need to have documentation that supports the divergence from official actionscript language documentation elsewhere, and the hope that new users will read it as the authoritative source.
