"Doozy" might be more appropriate, given the implementation work :-)  
But I'm not sure what it would stand for.

I'm not actually sure.  This has been on the Laszlo roadmap for a few 
years, in pretty much the present form.  Flex 1.5 introduced some form 
of runtime library, but I don't know if it can be used for late loading 
of an application, which is primary goal for Laszlo dynamic libraries.  
The emphasis in Flex was on being able to share the Flex runtime 
library among multiple applications, which would be a separate feature 
for us (and not as important for our current deployments, which are 
typically single applications which need to load quickly).  It might be 
that Flex libraries can do this too, though.

Best,
Oliver
