The primary application of XUL at the moment is in the Mozilla browser, where all the user interface widgets are implemented using it.

 XUL and RDF: The Implementation of the Application Object Model
If XUL is dropped from the picture, then dialogs would have to be described using native widgetry (unless you're willing to design an HTML dialog system, which still wouldn't cut it without extending HTML), and Communicator would have to ship with both widget sets.
If the XUL stream came from a local file, then RDF can either locally annotate the graph (just as before), or it can serialize the XUL and write over the original file (thus allowing local changes to a local file to be reflected right in the XUL).
A content tree in XUL that wishes to allow persistent local annotations to be made to all the nodes in the subtree (including the node itself) must specify this capability using the persistent attribute.
