Hi Chris,

You sent the mail below to different newsgroups but sometimes nothing replaces a
good old bug report.

For the next week or two, until we figure out how to do HTML stuff from
within the XUL/RDF content sink, I checked in a really gross hack, a
static link dependency from rdf.dll to layout.dll (to get
NS_CreateHTMLElement()). THIS WILL GO AWAY, I promise. I just did this
to un-block stuff that was depending on RDF merging in XUL.

Kipp fixed most of this when he converted layout to a component. Still need to
clean up some of the miscellaneous linkage (e.g., do we need gfx?)

Comment 4

[Chris Waterson]

Marking this as fixed. We need gfx for timers and nsRect. We need DOM and JS
for XUL support. If we move XUL to its own DLL, well, then, this'll all go
away.
