Now that's worth a thought or two. Most of us will probably need to make 
this work at some point. As Elliotte Rusty Harold points out, XUL uses 
CSS and although I disagree with him on the XML attributes VS CSS issue, 
he's right on the need for a CSS parsing module.

Although I'm not sure on whether a 100% mapping is possible between the 
semantics of the two languages, a transformer shouldn't be that 
difficult using SAX and a SAC [1] parser to handle CSS when going from 
XUL to XAML.

Just registered an SF project for it and will start working on a Java 
version. Anyone cares to help on Perl, C or others?
