Well maverick can spit out xml so it can spit out xul pages. You may 
need to figure out how to sign the pages (if you need more than basic 
lists and want access to local resources etc). 
I've just finished converting a XUL application back to HTML. There are 
just too little documentation (unless you consider reading c++/IDL/js/
XUL good docs), and subtle changes in XUL bindings caused me all sorts 
of grief with different mozilla versions. If you do decide to use XUL I 
would start by creating a HTML front end. Then begin a transition to 
XUL.
