They have an overlapping goal. I've asked the author of xmlterm about using it as mozilla's telnet client and it certainly is (or was, at the time, which was a long time ago) one of his goals. I hope you will work on making xmlterm fill this role, because it has great potential as such. XMLTerm can operate as a traditional terminal emulator, or it can work in its fancy XML-mode, or a bit of both. I think a mozilla telnet client that supports traditional terminal standards would be great, but one that also took advantage of mozilla's graphical capabilities would be even better. Think traditional IRC vs Chatzilla, which supports smileys and hyperlinking, for example (although I don't think chatzilla is unique among irc clients in offering those capabilities). I do think the goals can be reconciled, and I think it would be a shame not to do so. Stuart.
