The upstream site tell me that it can also "generate Javascript code
using Browser DHTML API, so you can create AJAX web applications"

This should be added to the description.

By the way, I've only read quickly trough upstream site, but it seem
it can be used to make a pure AJAX application, if so, it should be
noted in the long and short description (because there are people who
prefer to note use Flash, but are OK with AJAX).
