Acutally, the xpi version of Mozile is exactly what I was thinking
about, UI wise.

Regarding the usability of XUL for BXE, the xpi installation process is
pretty streamlined : click on a link, validate the security dialog, quit
the browser, relaunch the browser.

That looks interesting, and challenging.
I'll look into it when I start working with BXE (next month probably).
