Introduction

Remote XUL is a potentially powerful technology that is currently limited by some excessive security restrictions and unclear documentation. Presently there is no clear source of information regarding what functionality is available to remote XUL and what isn't.

Proposal

Ideally it would be good to lower or remove some of the restrictions concerning remote XUL where possible. Obviously it will never be practical to remove all restrictions, so there should be an easy to find web page which clearly lists what can and can't be done using remote XUL.

The entries that appear in the Javascript error console when remote XUL has been blocked are less than useful. If a page like this existed it would be beneficial to reference it in the error message so that novice developers are more likely to find it.
