Yes.  Some day.  However, it isn't an immediate goal of 
mine.  The XUL runner stuff isnt' that far away from working 
on WINCE.  I wouldn't be surprized if it just did work.

Have you tried building it for windows ce?

Yes, the file:// url handling is broken.  A workaround is to 
just use:

resource://gre/res/page.html

and put page.html in:

<bin> / res /

Hope this helps.
