I second this. That's exactly the same problem I had in the first.
Keen, enthusiastic developers sometimes only realize too late what

too late. But some more pr work would have prevented this from
happening.

Re: [xul-talk] Microsoft Hypes Up XUL As The Greatest Expiriment Since Adam and Eve

   Any comments?

It seems really to be one of the next big things from microsoft.

I'm probably biased, but I would have prefered the separate style
from content approach similiar to XUL. The way XAML is desribed at
MSDN it definitely does not work this way.

If I read the XML dialect it reads more like a it was written to be
a decriptive language to be directly-to converted to any of the new
managed Microsoft flavours, be it C#, JScript, etc. Which makes
sense -- in the Microsoft-Way. XAML is targetting at developers
familiar with their technology; you don't need to have an idea about
CSS or Javascript at all: which however is the targeted developer
audience of XUL.
