I decided to head up to the Ask the Experts to give my feedback to the Atlas team. Having all this nested markup for behaviors or bindings seems a little ridiculous. Shanku Niyogi (from the Atlas, Part 1 talk) pointed out it's easier for the parser to see elements, that this approach allows for multiple bindings/behaviors, and that in the future Atlas may adopt a XAML-like approach with dot elements (eg. <atlas:textbox.binding>).
We also talked about the need for strong security on the web service proxies that are autogenerated (on the part of both the developer and the atlas framework) so that we don't see some injection of malicious code into the XmlHttpRequest pipeline. I initially felt that obfuscating the client side atlas javascript would be helpful... but he may be right that the security the endpoints are more important.
