What would be useful is if someone took one of the existion Flash <--> JS communication kits, which works w/ 6 & 7, and then modified the API, such that it matched exactly the ExternalInterface of 8 & 8.5. This way, you could write the same code which compiled for all versions. Only if you were going to 6 or 7, you would just include the extra class file.
