Is there documentation for these other packages (Salsa, Cypress, Caramel, et
al)?  I didn't know about this particular utility and it could be handy to
have a reference to them.

I think I'm going to write custom tags

<radiogroup ...>
  <radio ... />
  ...
</radiogroup>

because it seems more obvious and will allow me to extend it to use the
"command" attribute.  Not that it matters, but I like the idea of
consistency between XUL dialects (Mozilla) too.  I can donate this work back
to the project, if you're interested.  One other thing that I like about
Mozilla XUL is the "observes" attribute although I'm not sure how I would
specify a programmatic listener.

My particular use-case is to enable the "Next >" button when the user
chooses the "I Accept the License Agreement" radio button - "observes" would
be very handy.

Ultimately, I need to "tie" my generic actions to XulActions and back to the
Xul components.  Option 1 looks like the best way as you suggest... I've
been struggling with how to do that.
