XML parsing support has been greatly enhanced (thanks ap!) in WebKit
since the
last version was released with Safari 2.0.x. The first question
(technical
hurdles for supporting Safari) would probably be best asked of the
AtMail
developers who know much more about what Gecko features it uses.
Bug reports about specific failures on http://bugs.webkit.org/ are
always
welcome! (Reduced test cases will help them get fixed even faster.)
We support XML in general quite well, but we have no support for XUL,
which is a proprietary Mozilla-specific UI language. It sounds like
AtMail has dependend heavily on proprietary, browser-specific
technologies in both IE and Mozilla, which is somewhat unfortunate.
They could probably do much of what they need to with standard, cross-
browser web technologies.
