Interesting timing - Just today I blogged about HTML5 and how it still doesn't fully address the needs of web apps - http://www.puremango.co.uk/2011/01/what-is-the-point-of-html-5/ http://www.puremango.co.uk/2011/01/what-is-the-point-of-html...

XUL is a great little language but as I say in the blog post: XUL is designed to produce apps with a consistent look-and-feel. HTML is emphatically not (and shouldn't be). It's tricky to design a web application language which doesn't end up with all apps looking the same.
