Dashboard like Konfabulator or gDesklets or SuperKaramba is a mini XUL motor that lets you create eye candy for your desktop using markup and scripts.
Not exactly. From David Hyatt's weblog, it says the following:
"I wanted to blog briefly to clear up what the widgets actually are written in. They are Web pages, plain and simple (with extra features thrown in for added measure). Apple's own web site says 'build your own widgets using the JavaScript language', but that's sort of misleading. The widgets are HTML+CSS+JS. They are not some JS-only thing."
So you see, Dashboard is really just a collection of web pages. It has nothing to do with any XUIL. This is almost like saying a new version of Opera is an "XUL motor".
Not that it isn't cool, though, but you're stretching the definition of what makes an XUIL renderer.
