This retains explicitness, while also having a small barrier between classes. It also helps with my goal: I want my code to read as much like scripting as possible, whenever possible. (Tip of the hat to Dave Winer, who suggested this to me as a goal for app writers. Much of the Frontier kernel reads like scripting.)

re: JavaScript and HTML: Forgiveness by Default
Yikes, I disagree with the author. If every rendering client forgave in exactly the same way, that would be one thing. In reality this loosey-goosey crap is what makes you spend 90% of your development time on platform parity. Strict compilers whip you because they love you!
(I think I remember reading that the next version of html will codify some of the loosey-goosey forgiveness wussiness; that sounds like a reasonable path to take.)
