 - We could use the setter methods on DObject properties to generate dobj

+- We need a realistic HashMap implementation. Using Object properties
+  (a-la my SimpleMap) is not going to cut it because keys must always
+  be Strings and there's no way to *really* remove a value from an Object
+  (you can set the property to null, but now the property is forever defined:
+  the key is not cleared)
+
+  mx.utils.UIDUtil.getUID() can be used to generate a (huge) unique String

+  It might be worth waiting, I think it's very probable that Adobe will
+  add in a Hashtable class to the standard libraries...
