   I hope you're not one of those Mozilla guys in
disguise trying to provoke a flame war. Can you tell
me more about how you have used Luxor so far?

 If you want to discuss how XUL differs from MUL
(Mozilla XUL) please join the xul-talk mailing list @
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xul-talk

  Luxor XUL is not a Mozilla XUL clone but tries to
clean-up the heavy machinery used in Mozilla (e.g.
RDF,  XBL, own template system, and so on) and also
tries to innovate. In short Luxor doesn't copy, but
Luxor leads.
