喔……神哪……哇塞……以end user立場，我只能說：「幹得好！」

想請教一下，其他RIA的技術都能和XUL整合嗎？（據說XUL也屬於RIA的一種？）那所以要把Flash和XUL做在一起的話可以嗎？只是問問啦，想長點見識:P

ZK simply "borrows" the XUL spec. We don't bother to "invent" another group of gui tags since XUL has done a very good job. Thus, in that meaning, it is possible to "interpret" XUL tags into FLASH tags as what you think.

However, we decide to go the "standard" AJAX way to avoid any plug-ins requirements on the brower side.
