This is interesting. The XUL client as Drupal installer? Kind of like some of the MySQL remote config/admin tools? It's an interesting direction, certainly.
I only know a little about XUL. What are the chief advantages it provides over using Javascript and XMLHttpRequest (i.e. AJAX)? A more rich set of widgets? Better event handling? I get the impression XUL is much lighter than Java, but it does not appear to have stateful connections. Or does it? I start having wild fantasies about building thin, lightweight PowerBuilder/VisualBasic-like fancy clients running in Gecko browsers with stateful connections to web servers and see the world as my oyster. :-) So for the XUL n00bs among us (that would be me), what's it buying us here?
