thank you for the in depth response, Cliff.

There is a post where folks are discussing this already, kind of sums it up well, but it still begs the question... do you want mediators seting in proxies instead of enforcing that kind of interaction through commands? If it is a simple getter setter, why can't it be a well abstracted get command /set command?

discuss...

We are having a heated nerd debate about why there is a connection between the mediator and the proxy, as this connection potentially promotes ignoring the control/command tier. If you could enlighten us as to when you see this as being a good connection to have and when it is a bad connection to have, we would appreciate your time.

Our implementation is in AS3, using iResponder to return the details of the transaction

Thanks!
