It hasn't? What about this quotation from the Mozilla.org /start page: "Is there some bug that really bothers you? As well as reporting it, feel free to fix it as well. Fixing bugs in Mozilla is far easier than in many other applications, because you can fix bugs (such as those in our cross-platform front end, written in XUL, our XML-based User-interface Language, CSS and Javascript) using only the build you are running right now. There is no need to set up complex environments, or compile anything." So XUL-based skinnable user interface has nothing to do with XUL? :) >> This article is actually written by a staff member of Mozilla, so this >> is serious stuff.

You seem to know less than I do about these things, Blake. mpt is the owner of the UI Design component in Bugzilla.
