You really do not want to do that, since you are defeating the purpose of XUL 
this way.

Well, it is not quiet that straight forward, but similar. I just got adding 
objects working in combination with Zope 3, so as Sidnei pointed out, there 
should be some good starting points in Packages/Moztop.

SOAP is overkill.

Why would you want to use it? Mozilla has its own nsXmlRpcClient.js 
implementation based on Martijn Pieters original work! It seems broken in 
1.2.1, but I got it to work with the nightly build. You can get the patched 
version from the Packages/Moztop repository. I checked it in a couple minutes 
ago.
