Details

Since bug 1102834, we have a javascript version of xml2dict.py, i.e. word_list_converter.js, that generates the dictionary blob from a list of words. word_list_converter.js is currently used during Gaia runtime for generating user dictionary blobs; the static (built-in) dictionary's blob generation is still taken care by xml2dict.py right now. Let's see if we can use word_list_converter.js for the static job, and eradicate xml2dict.py altogether. This will at least require creating a more generalized interface of entry to word_list_converter.js, and creating a front-end for it such that the xml word list may be consumed. Also, word_list_converter.js is written with ES6. Depending on our (future) JS environment during building, this might need to be take care of.
