RE: Prior Art For Microsoft's XUL Patent Wanted


seth johnson art
As I looked into it, I came to the same conclusion. 
A bit of a red herring ... XAML and XUL won't be 
patented if the USPTO stays alert and the patent 
seekers do due diligence diligently. (ouch..).  I 
was surprised as I looked into inductive interfaces 
to see MS mystified that they had not originated 
the idea given any mil tech writer's experience 
with the LSAR records for repair procedures and 
that background informed MID design.  This stuff 
just isn't rocket science.

The EOLAS patent is generating defensive patenting 
elsewhere.  For now, it is a brush war, but we  
need some sort of forward looking strategy if we 
are to stay focused on global software (software 
developed in the open by individuals and groups 
with a focus on global use and distribution). 
Standards aren't enough and best of breed leads 
to reduced functionality on delivery.

I also have some prior art in using XML or XML+XSL for generating UI's at 
runtime, but I think this patent is specifically about the .HTA files... the

patent is all about HTML, so it's possible that something as simple as using

XHTML would fall outside the scope of the patent.
