The PureMVC Framework Code at the Speed of Thought

I am starting a new test project to get the feel how PureMVC is working in a development environment.

So I was reading the FAQ particular this article ( http://puremvc.org/content/view/93/188/ )
It is stating:

Therefore, the Model tier (Proxies) should not reference anything specific to your Controller/View tiers or your ApplicationFacade/ApplicationConstants.

While the ApplicationSkeleton Demo is doing that inside the ConfigProxy, LocaleProxy and the StartupMonitorProxy.
