Open Video on a more Open Internet

Isn't there a way to disable XUL in mozilla? There's probably a hack somewhere... Kind of like the "Make mozilla faster" fix where you just toy with settings.
Honestly though, this seems almost like a utorrent (and similar) vs Azureus/Vuze type of argument. Webkits are smaller resource usage, Mozilla is more control and additions. But seriously, get a decent comp and connection and the resource usage is a null argument.

I think the audio and video native support has just been dropped.

XUL is kinda innate to Mozilla. It's built with it. You can eliminate the XUL used for the user interface outside of the browser frame (toolbar, statusbar, menus, etc) (as demonstrated by Camino, which uses Gecko for page rendering but native Cocoa for the UI), but XUL will still make up the rendering engine itself.
I agree that with today's computers resource consumption is somewhat moot, but my point is that because of WebKit's compact nature, it's more suited to mobile applications like smartphone and PDA browsers.

There hasn't been a peep out of the IE developers about support for <video> or <audio>.
