Mozilla.org claims that XUL IS a trademark :
http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/licensing.html

And i confirm : the use of XUL term for other technologies than 
Mozilla's XML user interface language, cause confusion for newbies who 
discover http://xul.sourceforge.net site... Some xulfr.org users wrote 
it to me by email...
