Not sure I understand this statement.

It seems to me the clear separation between the system and the UI, combined with the easy way the UI is implemented, will open up a whole new field of creativity that goes way beyond themes or widgets.
Once a person starts to display:none some key elements in the name of customization, you run the risk of causing problems with how an OS renders for all people. Overrides will take the control away from the customizations. Wall people in and it's not customizable at all. I'm not happy with most widgets... so hearing that it will be better than that system, I can't wait. The existing paradigm of UI/UX for mobile phones is not ideal.

BTW I don't think Firefox OS is going to offer XUL, it's going to be plain JS/HTML/CSS.
And I stand corrected! You're 100% correct. XUL was dropped, HTML5 + JS will be the way to change your Firefox Mobile OS experience.
