I agree on the general principle. What remains to decide is how to
encode such a super-duper-version thing.

Take the TextField with device fonts coloring as an example.
The *same* Adobe player version behaves *differently* on GNU/Linux
(and dunno what other unix flavor) then on Windows.

I started a thread on flashcoders mailing list, I suggest gnash
developers join that list as it's a pretty crowded bunch of flash
coders there..
