It seems pretty fair to me. The whole idea of using xulrunner for
Firefox and Thunderbird was to separate the engine from the products,
because the engine will be shared between the two of them and many other
applications. Firefox/Thunderbird would only provide XUL and Javascript
interface definitions/specific code and a few modules written in C(++),
AFAIK.
