So would I be right in thinking that XPCOMM is a "portable language" the
way early C was meant to be before platform specific variations began
creeping in? In other words you have one language, you write mozilla
aps in one code base, and the you just recompile that code base once for
each platform you want to run your app on?

So by "non mozzilla developers leveraging mozilla xp technology" this
person means ordinary developers having the opportunity to easily make
more skins/themes for customized versions of netscape, or maybe a
customized pop up window or something like that?
