You're right Alex, MDL is second, UL with LI items, with no selection
model, at least for what I see in the examples,
selection seems to be in Table component...

So is clear I don't want SimpleList, maybe List...

Good, I would check View concepts in flexjs, since right now I don't see
how to do it. If I can't get it I return to you since I think this is
important for me when trying to get right MDL constructs.

Thanks, this helps me a lot :)
