If you read the docs, Adobe voted for us. Using accessors is the only way to 
be fully portable and cross-platform. This is because of the limitations of 
certain platforms, amongst which Netscape of course. v3 changes that with its 
embedded interpreter, but its still better not to take chances.

I vote for accessors.
