Do you mean
<xul:label value="file:///c:/path-to-file">file:///c:/path-to-file</xul:label>
?

but then if @value takes precedence and it gets cropped then it'd be great if text node would be the same as representation of @value attribute. That doesn't happen I assume.

So crop doesn't give desired effect on
<xul:label>file:///c:/path-to-file</xul:label>
or
<xul:description>file:///c:/path-to-file</xul:description>

sure, just switch to Accessible Tree viewer in left panel and inspect the accessible tree.
