Yes I am well aware that Mozilla uses XUL for its GUI (and anything else 
they can reasonably code in XUL) but XUL is an extension of XML, XML is 
not XUL, if you meant XUL then yeah I suppose, but XUL doesn't offer a 
whole lot of functionallity, and yes you could write a small app in XUL 
and does something trivial but Javascript (which is what XUL uses for a 
programming language) and interpreted languages in general are not 
scalable, so on any medium or large scale project XUL on its own would 
fail.  Though I'm sure it saves the Mozilla project bundles of time and 
effort by using XUL, it saves them from rewritting a lot of GUI code 
since thier browser is cross platform.
