I guess you mean ".nib" files. It's unclear if you're familiar with
them or not. If you haven't, take a look inside a modern (OS X 10.2+)
one.
Since XML is generic, this is a very open-ended requirement. Are you
implying that you need a platform-agnostic means to specify an
interface using common elements? You might look at RealBasic or
something, although just using Java might be easier in the long run.

I cannot be sure, but statistically the answer is likely "Yes".

I don't understand what you're looking for. IB reads/writes .nib
files, which are archived AppKit GUI objects. So a .nib file, speaking
loosely, *is* "GUI elements". IB can't read in any other kind of U.I.
specification that I know of.
