It would look like it does now. By "organizing property" I mean a
property that you assign semantics to to change the UI. Other properties
like isFocused and visible have well-defined semantics.

Probably like binding expressions. Or maybe they will be binding
expressions.

You can't today. I'm just imagining a world where any property can define
whether things are included/excluded or have a different value.

I'm not sure I understood this section.

FlexJS will support the CSS properties left, right, top, bottom.

I used to use ToggleButton as an example, but it doesn't have an
emphasized state and then I think the total number of states is the same.

A long-ish term goal for FlexJS is to support W3C CSS. That's because the
browsers do already, and it is better to join them vs try to change their
behavior. The hard part is just emulating it in Flash/Actionscript. And
that includes a list of classNames and more media query parameters.
Will that help?
