I'd love to answer your questions but I haven't looked at the Anya code yet.

There is a bugzilla bug about rendering snapshots to a pixmap, but that's non-interactive.

Is this true?

Yes, XUL doesn't demand much more than HTML does.


* I'd like to avoid reinventing the wheel, since the inner workings of
drawing lines, arcs and boxes, doing clipping and so forth have been
implemented many times and it should be plenty of open source code to
borrow from.  The main issue is licensing -- if the code is, say, LGPL,
will that create problems if I my module is integrated into the mainline
mozilla source later on down the road?  Does anyone either recommend an
unencumbered library that could be relicensed, or a workaround (such as
doing my work in a separate library which is linked in)?

It would be best if you can find an unencumbered (e.g., BSD-license) library. However, if you have to depend on an LGPL library we might be able to put it in the other-licenses directory.
