Perhaps.  For example, one might want to put together a specialized 
remote application.  If I use Mozilla+XUL for this,  instead of telling 
my clients "download and install Jim's specialized web client", I might 
say "download and install Mozilla, then go to this URL."

The Zope+Mozilla combination has many interesting possibilities.  To 
Zope, XUL is not importantly different from html.  So, the special 
things one might do in PageTemplates for html can be done similarly on 
the better widget set that XUL has.  Yes, single browser, but available 
for free on *all* platforms...
