Converting the browser and editor bindings to XBL will take advantage of hyatt's sexy new XBL keybinding code, and will make the crappy nsXULKeyListenerImpl::HandleEventUsingKeyset code apply to much less stuff (and therefore less of an immediate issue -- see bug 47395). There is also a strange symptom in which, although ill-formed XUL reports errors properly in most cases, ill-formed XUL in these files causes a crash. Converting the browser and editor bindings to XBL will resolve this. Doing this will also make fixing bug 47395 easier, because it won't have to deal with these special cases.
nominating nsbeta3 (see akkana's comments in 47395, on 2000-09-12).

FYI: timeless sees this in a talkback report somewhere...: 0x023e3900 XULContentSinkImpl::`scalardeleting destructor' XULContentSinkImpl::Release [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\rdf\content\src\nsXULContentSink.cpp,line510] nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\base\nsCOMPtr.cpp,line50] nsXULKeyListenerImpl::LoadKeyBindingDocument [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\rdf\content\src\nsXULKeyListener.cpp,line1331] nsXULKeyListenerImpl::GetKeyBindingDocument [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\rdf\content\src\nsXULKeyListener.cpp,line1193] nsXULKeyListenerImpl::DoKey [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\rdf\content\src\nsXULKeyListener.cpp,line680] nsXULKeyListenerImpl::KeyDown [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\rdf\content\src\nsXULKeyListener.cpp,line568] This is that strange symptom mentioned above, about crashing browserBindings. Don't bother filing a new bug -- it'll go away when they get XBL'ed.

nsbeta3+, p2 for m18, since it saves work on bug 47395, and reduces the complexity and risk, as well as adding some incremental performance enhancements. Also, it is needed for embedding. This is contingent on akkana being able to convert the xul files themselves.

I can convert the XUL files to XBL.
PDT not sure what the problem is with this. Bug 47395 is not an obvious stopper to us, so this bug isn't obvious either. Please explain what bad thing happens to users if we don't fix this, or this is nsbeta3-

This is necessary for a bunch of reasons: it fixes a crash, it drastically improves linux performance, it helps embedding, etc. Work is in progress (will be finished around noon, 9-21) to do this conversion, as part of an XPToolkit and editor team push to fix linux editor performance. See 48758.

I've moved editorBindings.xul into htmlBindings.xml, and unix/platformEditorBindings.xml into unix/platformHTMLBindings.xml -- will attach. Anthony has graciously volunteered to work on the others, cc'ing him.

damnit how do i attach a zip file? anthony
dependent bug is 48758. per pdt, p3 on its own merits, but we understand if this gets checked in with 48758.
