Anders, I'm not quite an authority on the subject, but I was interested in finding out the answers of some of the same questions some time ago. Here is what I found out back then:
A lot of the XML support in Mozilla has to do with handling and displaying XML content. Firefox ships with an XML parser (Expat) and has support for XSLT and MatgML. Supposedly, XPCOM exports scriptable objects for accessing Web services. There is support SOAP, WSDL and XML-RPC. Mozilla also has some support for the SAX protocol, but I don't know how much. Some documentation: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-ffox15.html http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-ffox2/index.html Some references from the Mozilla source code trunk: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/parser/expat/ - the Expat library http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/parser/htmlparser/src/nsExpatDriver.h - the Expat driver class http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/parser/xml/ - SAX support http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/extensions/webservices/ - support for XML Web services The web services support is implemented as an extension for Firefox. When I was looking into this, I wanted to find out if there was any intention to support the WS-Security standards: WS-Encryption and WS- Security. I got no answer, but it seemed like the answer would be "no"... I hope this helps.
