Yes, cool, though in Linux it's hard to use that. :)

Only for some values of 'proprietary'. Perhaps a trifle more proprietary

one than Zope's. In theory XUL could be used by other browsers; the source
is open.

I'm very very curious about what will happen to the web browser market next
year when Mozilla is out. It's going to be very interesting indeed.
