I think the question is rather if there is an interest to create a
HTML5-equivalent of the XUL tree that has a similar or matching feature set.

The main features required are being able to handle a datastore that has
10k+ rows by lazy loading (and unloading) the data into DOM nodes,
hierarchical data view with ability to collapse levels, and columns that
can be shown and hidden.

I know there are a few table data libraries on the web, many of them use
jquery. It would be nice to create/use something self-containing that
doesn't require external libraries.

The limiting factor is obviously time, but I would love to experiment
with a HTML5 drop-in replacement that understands nsITreeView and friends.
