  I agree that classic Mozilla XUL falls short for web
forms compared to "classic" HTML forms.

  Luxor tries to add the best ideas of W3C XForms -
also billed as the next-gen Web Forms upcoming in
XHTML 2.0 - to XUL.

  I've already briefly started work on it. You might
wonna check out the ramses-forms module in the CVS
repository for some embrionic examples.

  I will resume work on XForms support once the new
Eclipse UI (aka SWT) port is up and running.
