I am more interested in the ability to build custom UI and not be bound to any particular platform

What I dont quite understand is whether currently I should be able to launch a XUL UI as a Webapp
using   manifest entry such as

 "launch_path": "/ui.xul"

it currently generates an entity parsing error for an implied description element

I understand that eventually the built in xulrunner support will be phased out but in the meantime shouldnt it be possible to launch a standard XUL document?

Any one got an example?

All the windows examples I have seen of webapps (hosted or packaged) appear
to feature the file and edit menu bars.

1. Are there any plans to, or is it already possible, to create chromeless
applications in the same way as XUL permits.?

I also notice that background:transparent does not appear to be supported
for the application document element so it does not seem possible at the
moment to create non rectangular applications interfaces

2. Are there plans to enable background transparency for web apps with non
rectangular windows ?
I don't think we have plans to support 1 and 2 in apps right now. It might be something we end up supporting in the future through view modes, but like I said, there are no plans at this point:

For desktop apps we were planning an API to manage menus, see
