Also, Apple's announcement today about iPhone development using AJAX and exposing internal phone functions as web services to the iPhone's safari browser is tipping everything in the same direction.

Yeah... we're thinking that we were going to totally separate the model and domain processing from the view/controller part of the application. That way we could have a couple different HTML interfaces as well as a SVG/ECMAScript interface. I'm not terribly familiar with XAML or XUL, but I understand that most (if not all) of the Firefox / Mozilla / Navigator interface was written in XUL. This is one of the benefits to this approach, IMHO. Separating the interface allows us to experiment with a number of different interface technologies. And the only thing the experimenters need to know is the semantics and syntax of the XML interface. -Cheers! -Matt H.
