not yet :) but we are working together on a docusite together with a
school here in zurich. Once the site is up (using Bitflux CMS, of
course), it will be much easier for us to write documentation. Most
certainly, we will also show with this site, how to integrate BXE,
therefore this will be a great use case :)

I looked into using XUL for BXE. XUL is great and has some really useful
stuff, but there are serious problems with using XUL within XHTML at the
moment. And I think using XHTML within XUL is not really an option for
us, 'cause we'd really like to port BXE to MSIE sometime in the future.
Using XUL within XHTML would allow us to write wrappers for MSIE, which
would do the same stuff in HTML. But these are just ideas I had and we
are in contact with some Mozilla and others developers about that.

Thanks for the link :)
Watch this space about the future developement of BXE. I hope, I can
write something about that within the next few days.
