We cannot have both > well-defined methods and dynamic binding attachment The thing is, in any sort of reasonable system you can't have objects randomly changing which interfaces they implement... The issue of binding attachment through styling has been a major weak point of Mozilla XBL all along, and causes so many problems that we are strongly considering moving to a different, not style-related, binding mechanism altogether. So while attaching bindings that don't define methods or implement interfaces via style is a somewhat reasonable approach, bindings that actually implement interfaces probably need to be attached via some other mechanism. -Boris
