It's possible. My objective was to pick XUL elements that were
supported by at least two of the three XUL motors I mentioned (Luxor,
Zulu and XML2UI), with the only exceptions being for tags that implement
functionality that exists in HTML forms. The tree element would most
certainly be useful, but it didn't fall into that category.
I suppose a good argument could be made for it though. The trouble
is defining where we stop. For instance, we could add groupbox. It's
supported by Luxor, which is the only of the three motors that also
supports tree. Furthermore, groupbox is equivalent to a frame, which are
quite common in Windows applications.
To be honest, you wouldn't have to twist my arm very hard to get me
to put either of them into the "Keymaster" subset. I'm just concerned
we're on a slippery slope. If we add too many XUL elements, we might as
well just call it "XUL 1.1".
