I have to agree with Sebastian on this. I think it is the responsibility of
the architects to show how they intend the architecture should be used. At
least in an abstract way.

Flex apps with or without micro frameworks have a common setup across them
in general. It would be helpful going forward to describe separation of
concerns and when and where to apply certain principles.

For example, if you looked at any of the Twitter client examples currently
online you'd see how to get the feed and hook it up to a data grid in as
few lines of code as possible. In a production edition you wouldn't do
that.

You'd want to describe the package structure, the use of data models and
data providers and services. You'd include when and how to use item
renderers.
