XUL2.0 We will be building out additional widgets that people have requested, finalizing and polishing APIs where possible, fixing bugs and enhancing capabilities of existing widgets. |

XULRunner A shared runtime environment, allowing applications to be built targeting a particular release of that environment, which will let them be distributed without the download overhead of the environment itself. Firefox will be the primary distribution vehicle of the XRE, with Firefox 1.5 being the first release to utilize it. Simple XUL applications may be tens or hundreds of kilobytes, be completely cross platform and be implemented entirely in XUL/JavaScript. |

Standardization Certain elements of XUL are being standardized by various bodies to bring their benefit into other realms, e.g. the flexible box model is being standardized in the CSS working group so this layout model will eventually be available to web pages. WHATWG is standardizing a variant of XULÕs <tree> for web use. |
