  Well, as far as i can tell XulContext holds all
lookup methods. The point of using interfaces for
lookup methods is so you can plugin your own.

  Yeah, for now the context is sort of global.
However, since the lookup interfaces are plugable you
can create your own lookup stack.

  Well, as far as I can tell for now XulContext only
does lookups. 

  If I get your point it makes sense to keep track of
XulForms and allow lookup using the XulContext.
However, as far as I can tell you need to add a new
interface and a new hashmap.

  Sounds like a good idea. Just go ahead and try it
out.
