ASLO had initial .xol support but it was dropped since wasn't so popular
and complicated ASLO patch. Anyway, it will be easy to return it (in
initial state as well) but there is a problem..

We need to port/rewrite ASLO patch to the new AMO base (which was
switched to Django(Python) from Cake(PHP)), revert of .xol support could
be a part of this port.. we just need a volunteer..
