   Prior Art For Microsoft's XUL Patent Wanted

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Hi,

  If you missed the news the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (uspto.gov) just granted Microsoft a
patent on XUL. See the XUL News Wire Story @
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.xul.announce/187
for details.

   Now here's my first reaction:  

  For once it has its benefits that the Mozilla folks
haven't touched their XUL docs for ages and are frozen
in time.

  For example, Microsoft filed its XUL patent on May
20, 1999 disclosing its "invention" to the world.

  Now David Hyatt touched up the chrome configuration
spec the last time on April 7, 1999.

  See yourself online @
http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/ConfigChromeSpec.html

  Anyone knows about other links to prior art?

    - Gerald
