Yes, currently we have an application based on Firefox/XUL and OpenOffice using Python to glue them together, if we are able to control OpenOffice from XUL, it would enable us to better integrate our application. I am sure there maybe other third parties who may have interesting ideas for integrating Firefox, Thunderbird or Sunbird with OpenOffice. Also, it maybe interesting to embed an OpenOffice document frame instead of a XUL window frame, similar to the OOoBean or Caolan's PyOfficeDemo. This could be a very interesting project, especially for Thunderbird, it could open the possiblity of being able to view OpenOffice attachments inside the mail client. We are definitely interested in it and are likely to use it.
