- Shorten Binding syntax like in the ASP.NET MVC frameworks. Instead of Text="{Binding Path=User.LastName}", I simply want to write something like Text="<% User.LastName %>".

Border color for all four sides

QueryPromptString in Silverlight TextBox Control
there is usually a requirement in most of the text boxes to show a watermark or some text that shows what should appear in a text box. This is termed as QueryPromptString in a share point search box control. A similar functionality I expect in silverlight text box as well.

Modular feature download (Enhance SL Plugin)
Let the SL Plugin be a basic download of 4-5 MB which enables basic support for SL
then let developers define modules which is needed to run an application.
eg:
- "You need to download the 3D Module to run Crysis.XAP, click OK to download 10MB Module"- "You need to download the AntiVirus module to run Norton.XAP, click OK to download 15MB Module"
