Sebastian, do you mean the Mozilla Sunbird project?
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html)

Anyway this is totally written in XUL (plus XPCOM) like any other 
mozilla application (firefox, thunderbird). These are locally installed 
standalone applications, and have the advantage that their are less 
security restrictions. But there are also pure web served examples like 
this amazon browser http://www.faser.net/mab/remote.cfm (open with 
firefox or mozilla).

I have been looking in that technology for some time and it fascinates 
me. Hopefully my I get the uni project work and I can demonstrate some 
of its capabilities in respect to medical (web) frontends without the 
HTML limitations.

Cool stuff, isn't it?
