So in typescript we have:

  import http1 = module('./http/Request');

And in ecmascript 6/harmony we have:

  import {someHttpMethod, someOtherMethod} from './http/Request';

We also have the ability to assign an identifier to an entire module:

  module httpRequest = './http/Request';

This seems missing from typescript.

Why the difference and omission?

Do you plan to keep fragment the language by using a different syntax, or will you change to follow the ES6 syntax if/when it is agreed upon?

I also noticed something else that is in ES6 but not typescript:

  var cat = "friend";
  export cat

There's a work item for this in the issue tracker (http://typescript.codeplex.com/workitem/306) which you can upvote.
