Well, native calls as such are not a problem, as I showed, with a
small patch to the xsl file they translate nicely to calls to external
C (or Objective-C) functions. So native calls actually can make it
less tedious to implement some class for Java->ObjC, as parts of it
can be kept in Java, and just a minimal part needs to be in C/ObjC.

True. My initial impression from looking at the Fireworks demo was
very positive, it is speedy enough, but of course that is just a demo
written specifically for xmlvm, isn't it?
