LZX, Laszlo's language, is a XML with ECMAScript scripting. The XML for declarative programming of objects, animations, stateful behaviors & the ECMAScript (or JavaScript) for more fine-grained control of the app's behavior.

XUL has been around a long time and some very successful applications have been written with it. Oh, it's free. www.xulplanet.org is my favorite xul reference.

Anyway, isn't Laszlo just a scripting language with resources that have been serialized into an XML stream? In that way it's not much different than a VisualBasic or Java application except it is running in the Flash sandbox. Clearly the widespread runtime of Flash is advantageous. But the part about XML, what do we gain from that? Am I missing something? I wanted to give it a spin, but it seems like the developer package is about $7k.
