As a relatively new developer to Moz I can say there are two areas in which new documentation would be helpful to XUL developers:
1. Docs that explain how using the DOM with XUL differs from using the DOM with HTML.
Good point. Also in part a matter of bugs to fix, if I recall correctly.
2. Docs that explain the relationship between XPTookit, XUL and XPCOM. (as far as I can tell XUL, XPCOM, XPInstall etc are all part of the XPToolkit, but that is not stated anywhere I can find and is not obvious given the layout of docs on moz.org).
We actually have two XUL toolkits, "XPToolkit" as in XPFE (http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/ covers this as well as core XUL and XBL) and the "new toolkit" (http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/) used by Firefox, Thunderbird, NVu, and other apps.
We should diagram the onion and document all the layers, including alternative layers. But if we have to choose, I say document the new toolkit -- it's the future (XPFE is in sustaining engineering mode).
