It's slow and buggy and awkward and just SO COOL.

Building the browser app out of XML and HTML and Javascript - utterly brilliant idea.

Go look at res/samples/navigator.xul - that's the app, that is. You can add new menu items, new buttons to the toolbar, completely re-arrange the browser if you want to, and code all the functions in the same file. Try it with Mozilla running - change the file, save it, hit "New Window", voila.

The XUL files are application definitions. Apprunner is so called because it takes an XUL file and runs the app it describes. You can code whole new Internet apps with this thing using HTML, XML, Javascript, RDF, DOM and the network libraries.

Anyone done anything cool with it yet? And how does it compare to Internet Explorer .hta's?
