This is good feedback. We wanted to start with an easy mode, so people could on ramp quickly. In this case, you just use {{ }} for various kinds of binding and Polymer will (try to) do the right thing. I suspect we will need an alternative syntax for folks like yourself that want an explicit, engineering mode.
