Hallo

to Open-XUL-Alliance Founders:

I think the term XUL-Motor like the Open-XUL-Alliance uses it is 
misleading because XUL is Mozillas XML Userinterface Language. So in my 
opinion Mozilla is a XUL-Motor with XUL for describing GUIs and Gecko as 
 XUL-Generator/ XUL-Renderer.
A lot of your Motors doesn't use Mozilla-XUL for GUI description and 
include its own Generator/ Renderer. For example Xeotrope use XUI and 
XUI-Framework. But there are also XUL-Generators/ XUL-Renderer like 
jXUL, jzXUL, Sulu. By the way: XulParser is another XUL-Generator 
(http://www.rj.pcblaze.com/rlksite/index.php/XUL_Parser)

I think you mean with XUL a XML based Userinterface Description in 
general, but this is a little misleading and bad to handle in literature.
If you want to establish the term Motor you have to think about your 
definition.

Markus Liebschner
