Given some sort of native dependency management in the framework, do we really need styles? To me CSS just ads complexity to the development-model – a third language/spec introduced to act as a configuration pool for objects to reach out into and self-configurate (getStyle('myMagicString')). And the process of maintaining "magical strings" is painful. Could objects that need styles not be injected with value-objects written in MXML or ActionScript? I don't know the DI-mechanism you had in mind, but given how Flex DI-frameworks handle things today, we ought to be able to map objects to objects with the same amount of precision as Flex css does today? All the best! /Erik
