What variety of XUL do we document?

[Nickolay Ponomarev]

See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Talk:XUL_Tutorial:Toolbars

XULPlanet tries to document both the old xpfe/ version of XUL and the
new toolkit/ version of XUL. This made sense back when both versions
were widely used, but now that the focus in on Toolkit applications
and even SeaMonkey plans to migrate to the Toolkit (presumably keeping
things like grippies in application-specific bindings), I think we can
switch to documenting the "new" XUL only.

There also is (used to be?) the issue with Thunderbird not being a
fully toolkit application (and using certain interfaces from xpfe).
I'm not sure what is the status with that.

So should we remove grippies documentation and other xpfe-specific docs?

i think we should remove them from docs rather than keep without
maintainances.
at the point of translation projects, i require "obsolute document
information"
in these documents at least. if no, peoples of translation projects might think
to maintain them and many resources (which are even not enough for
catching up to -en) will be uselessly spent for such old docs. :p
