The original message from Howard seemed to indicate there was a choice to be made for ASSM? If there is (and note: I don't have 10g in my hands, so I can't confirm), then it's really not that much different.
My guess is there isn't. It will use an algorithm based on apparently 64K (why 64K?).
I have only one concern with ASSM at this stage: is it smart enough to allocate minimal blocks to an empty object? Because if it allocates 64K to empty ones, then it will be wasting disk in a major way with applications that define thousands of empty objects. Yes, I know disks are cheap. Not THAT cheap yet...
