I really like the idea of using the XUL standard for qooxdoo application

a good fit.
Hm. As much as I like XUL and the idea of qooxdoo being "close-to-a-XUL-engine", I wonder if that is not way to much overhead. Why not simply use the class structure of qooxdoo and mirror it in the xml structure? Otherwise, the javascript modifiying the created widgets has different logic than the pseudo - XUL code describing them. It seems to make more sense to me to have, for example, a QxAtom with its properties being a <qx:atom> node with the properties as attributes.

I was thinking of sometthing like
<?xml ...>
<qx:application
   [Initializers here such as image path etc. etc] >
   <qx:window
      location="100,100" dimension="500,300">
   [...]
   <qx:eventListener type="close">
         alert ("Window closed!");
   </qx:eventListener>
   </qx:window>
</qx:application>

Very close to the QxBuilder syntax. Added value could be:
- overlays (like in xul, to modularize the application>
- i18n (again, like xul)

But maybe you can explain to me the advantages of further abstraction.
