is xul a html replacement or a gui layout dialect

Hi subscibers,

I wanted to get your feeling on the following point : 
If you look at xul specs (on xulplanet for example),
it seems that it has been designed as a html form
replacement, with extensability added (new widgets),
using javascript and jsp stype server-side
programming.

In the luxor style of programming, xul is more a
layout engine, which is the way most of the gui xml
dialects works nowadays.

So do you think the xul jsp type programming really
does has some potential or not? Asking this question,
I am also thinking in the type of programming model
(transport, client-side updates, etc.) that is needed
in a high latency network like the web.

Hope my questions is clear enough.

Cheers,

Denis
