If you do, you might want to look at Sylvain's work on Ajax with
CForms. With that, JavaScript on the browser does XMLHTTPRequests
back to Cocoon, and CForms replies with partial XML based upon just
the part of the form that has changed. This, to my ill-informed eye
seems like much the same functionality as you would need for XUL.
With the difference that you don't need AJAX with XUL. Or better said
- as both rely on XMLHttpRequest, so that's not exactly the difference
- you don't pass complete parts of a page as HTML snippets to the
client, which will replace existing parts in a page with the new stuff
using DOM functions. You simply reload a RDF datasource and the
template on the client will rebuild the specific parts depending on
this datasource. IIRC I posted two links in one of these mails. If not
I can search for them again (it was on http://www.xulplanet.com).
Do you mean something like this demo:

Yeah, this looks like a perfect example. It gives a real Rich Client
feeling.
