Next is the XUL form processing. My understanding is that XUL is inherently a "form", that's what a User Interface is supposed to do. But a html form is an add-on to the HTML document, so compared to HTML forms, XUL has no equivalent to the <FORM> tag (maybe because it's already a form), and if a XUL application is to behave like an HTML form, then form submission scripts need to be added to each XUL form. I am thinking about how to use XMLHttpRequest object to implement XUL form submission functionality. Any suggestions are welcome here, it's the design issue, what aspects should I consider?
There is no form processing built into XUL. You have to implement it yourself using XMLHttpRequest. That was what my mails regards the proposal on the list was about. You can read it in the archives. Also there is not much sense about handling XUL exactly like HTML. XUL has its own templating mechanism.
