Description

First bug, so bear with me...

In the mx.containers.Tile class, we do not expose (at least) the following two properties):

horizontalGap
verticalGap

And I don't recognize those as being traditional css attributes. So... my question is where do we draw the line between which properties to expose as class publics, vs which properties we set thru setStyle(str, str).

As a developer, how can I intuitively know which properties to set via .as vs inline mxml vs .css?

Ideally, it would be nice to have all the properties available via the class, but I understand this will increase the code footprint.
Steps to reproduce:
1. var tile:Tile = new Tile();
2. tile.horizontalGap = 10; <-- doesn't exist
3. compile

Actual Results:
compiler error

Expected Results:
the properties exposed via mxml should be exposed as class public properties.

Workaround (if any):
tile.setStyle("horizontalGap", 10);
