Question:

is it better to be compliant with actionscript language expectations as a priority (e.g. myUninitialisedObjectVar === null vs. myUninitialisedObjectVar  === undefined in javascript) or is this a case where we forgo compliance with actionscript expectations in favour of minimal code (e.g. force developer to use .myUninitialisedObjectVar == null for compatibility between targets)

Partial answer: we can support initialisation to defaults as specified by actionscript, and create a compiler option to switch it on or off. So the question then becomes : which is the default? Is full PAYG more important that compliance with actionscript (in the javascript output)?
