I thought of XUL at first, too. (Yeah, I'm pretty sure Mozilla's UI is 
indeed completely specified and customizable with XUL.) But then I thought 
about it some more and I believe what the original poster was really 
talking about had to do with customizable data-entry forms and such, which 
would vary with the content being collected -- not so much the chrome of 
buttons, scrollbars, and the like. Dunno if XUL would be of any help at all 
if that's what he was talking about. (Except that you could dynamically add 
things like toolbar buttons, maybe.)
