Intriguing.  Do you perhaps have any samples you would be able to show that 
illustrates this concept?  Does the client-side application provide the 
"Controller" part of the framework?  What is the result of the XSLT 
transform, a conventional web page rendered in a <xul:browser/> element, or 
plugged straight into a standard container element like a <tabpanel/> or 
<box> element?
