I'm starting to play around with dynamic overlays, so I can't yet gauge what
kind of an effect that will have. Sounds promising.

I did describe my dream Firefox IDE a while back
(http://www.allpeers.com/blog/?p=97), and Peter Wilson answered will a
pointer to XulApp (http://xulapp.mozdev.org). I'm taking a close look at it
right now. I'll either join the project or start my own. This Firefox
community really, really needs this. So if you're interested in this, maybe
we can coordinate.

I found the Extension Developer Extension to be totally useless but if
someone disagrees, I'd be interested to hear why.

Matt
