Pet project: build web version of thinlet

I recently forked an open source project called FrontlineSMS.

FrontlineSMS uses Thinlet to build the GUI. Thinlet is a XUL framework with a very small footprint. Unfortunately, Thinlet only targets thick clients (desktops) and thin clients (applets).

The goal of my project is to port the application from a desktop-based solution to a web-based solution without changing their code base.To achieve it, I'm thinking of writing a brand new implementation of Thinlet that will target webapps instead of desktops and applets.
