"drowning resizes elements" ? You mean not have them show up or ?
>> 2) Platform availability - can we get or produce a xulrunner 1.9 binary

I actually got some contact me wanting to help out do a Win X64 build 
for us. Got some docs/links I can send to him or should
we just do it over email ?
>> 3) Updatability - will users (of both jboss tools and JBDS) be able to

>>

>> If we can solve/verify these or at least find acceptable workarounds and

>> after M3 have been released.
>>      
Lets discuss it tomorrow (friday) on the call with Denis and Alexey - 
but from the sound of it we should move up to xulrunner 1.9
for the M4 release.
