The XUL thoughts aren't torture. You might want to work on your
presentation, though <wink>.

Indeed. But I'm very willing. The question here is what change you are
suggesting, and I'm still not quite sure I understand. It seem you are
suggesting we use XUL instead of the Anygui API. That's a bit like
using PostgreSQL instead of the Python DB API. It doesn't make sense,
which is why I am confused.

Creating a XUL engine that uses Anygui would be fine, of course.
Perhaps what you are suggesting is that we create an engine that uses
the Anygui back-ends without the Python API? In that case people who
want to access Anygui from Python would have to generate XUL code
instead of simply calling methods...

Given my current understanding of the situation (which I am more than
happy to revise, mind you) I think adding a XUL
component/parser/thingy to Anygui is fine. Other than that, I'm not
sure what you would like us to do. (Changing component names etc.
might be fine too, but then I'd like concrete naming suggestions
really soon -- from anyone who't interested in the matter.)
