I venture to guess Flash Player may dominate nearly 90% of the FP's? On the other hand, I wonder if it is feasible to write a pre-FP 10.2 implementation of describeTypeJSON to help make up the functionality. If so, we can still extend our support.

I think the optimization is worth it, especially on UI classes reflection. WDYT?
