Hello,

  I've posted the XUL Compact Syntax Study online that
explores four non-XML syntax alternatives (that is, C
style, Python style, Lisp style, Pascal style) hoping
to make the XUL syntax more compact and more accesible
to newcomers who mighty shy away from the "complexity"
of XML.

  More @ http://xul.sourceforge.net/compact.html

PS: For those following along on xul-talk know it's
already old news since I've kicked off a discussion
about the alternative non-XML compact syntax styles a
couple of days ago.If you want to join the discussion
on xul-talk you're more than welcome.

The question is: Is XML too hard for mere mortals (e.g
Aunt Trudie and Uncle Freddie) and are the alternative
non-XML syntax styles any better? Let us know what you think.
