To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable knowing that MXML will be parsed by the compiler together with the AS code for the number of reasons I won't list here because they might be just superficial. On the other hand, this very fact is something that we also have to consider if we want to make changes to MXML grammar now. The above change was suggested to Adobe about 1-2 years ago, but nothing was done on the matter. Adobe didn't publish any specification for MXML and they aren't telling what features will be or are planned to for the MXML that will be in the new compiler. Suppose we proceed with adding this patch to current version of mxmlc - and then Adobe comes up with an incompatible compiler - what than? Best. Oleg
