Stupid question. There is only one XUL. This is the XUL of Mozilla.

This message shows, once again, that the name of this mailing-list (and 
the name of your site) provide confusion about the signification of the 
XUL acronym.

Some users know that XUL is the name of the Mozilla's UI Language, but 
when they visit the http://xul.sourceforge.net, they don't understand 
why it talks about other technologies. Some other users, because of your 
site, don't know that the XUL acronym is the language of Mozilla, and 
then, ask some question about xaml or other technologies in some forums 
dedicated to Mozilla technologies, like http://xulfr.org.

Please (again), change the name of your site and the name of this 
mailing-list ! And then, i'm sure, this stupid confusion will stop.

Thanks.

Laurent Jouanneau.
