As I said in my original post, I'm no expert and all I know about
UIML, XUL are what I have read. I have no actual experience of either.
So it may very well be that the documents that I read about UIML were
written more to my liking than the XUL documents. English isn't my
first language ;-)

I'm a firm beleaver in industri standards and if XUL is the way the
industri is going, well then I think we should follow!

No I'm not in any way related to PyUIML and I have not used it! I did
download it and I runned the test program so I saw that it worked.

I will go and read more about XUL to see what I missed the first time.
Any suggestions on what and where to find info about it?
