[Laszlo-dev] Extending view with JS2 syntax / warning for inline attributes

[P T Withington]

As we discussed in IM, you were kind of 'cheating'.  Your class was  
really inheriting from view, but your interface claimed you were  
inheriting from 'node'.  The interface declaration is important  
because it creates the schema for your class.  If it is not accurate,  
you can get schema warnings, and for swf9, you will potentially get  
compiler errors (because the schema is used to determine when a method  
is being overridden, among other things).

Don is working on a tool to automatically compute an interface  
declaration from a class (that is implementing a tag).  That will be  
useful in the future because you will not have to create your  
interface declaration by hand.
