    XBL? He doesn't even mention XBL! Besides, why would we try to 
remove XBL when we have a W3C standardized version of it right on the 
horizon?

    My opinion is that he's describing my XUL Basic concept pretty well, 
but if you're not concerned about the overhead the technologies above 
provide, what he wants can just as easily be provided by simply adding 
Python support to the existing Mozilla platform.
