I searched in vain at w3c.org, perhaps I missed the right question. all
I can find are references to why we should use XForms instead of XUL.
HTML has the advantage of being standardised by W3C whereas XUL isn't.

I'm not against serialising the definitional part of an application, but
I doubt anything will sway his Billness from the way of the NET even if
the fishes fight back.

So I get the complexity of a format which I have trouble editing with ed
and I also need a 2Mb widget set plus java and the back end python; the
widget set better be pretty good and have some really good tools to go
with it.

There are many widget sets, but only one XUL might be a good slogan.

What we need are the XUL --> Widget set mappings for more than one or
two widget sets. Where are the bindings?
