  I might be mistaken and I don't want to kick off a
holy war but isn't OGNL just an expression language
and not a full scripting language?

  Also as I said before I invite you to create a new
module/branch in the CVS repository and add OGNL
support to Luxor so we can better experiment and see
how it all works.

   I fully support adding scripting or expression
languages like OGNL to XUL. However, if your script is
more than a one-liner I suggest putting it in a
separate file.
 
  For Anakreon's Beanshell scripting example see the
old mailinglist post titled "Luxor Beanshell Scripting
In Action: Batik Reloaded" online @
