Description Tim Buschtoens CLA 2012-07-03 10:29:26 EDT 
It is a conding standard in RAP that javascript contructors must create all fields that are going to be used on the object. For GridItem, this means creating about a dozen fields which may never be used, often arrays. Tests with IE8 show that even empty arrays need hundreds of byte in memory, which can quite add-up with large trees/tables. As an alternative, the fields may be created on demand by the setter. Getter can return default values if the field is undefined.
