Maybe you should ask Mozilla?

WebEx extension would be .XPI

Extensions are packaged as standard Zip files, but with .xpi extensions.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions

It would be confusing to determine which is XUL-based or WebEx-based.

Yup.
Then again, they didn't make a difference for overlay and SDK extensions either.

It is scary to us to be abandoned by add-on developers (especially devs who did the best add-on, like gorhill [uBlock Origin] and Giorgio Maone [NoScript])....

gorhill (uBlock Origin) = uncertain.
Giorgio Maone (NoScript) = from his blog, it seems he likes WebEx idea....

ABE doesn't work with Pale Moon in NoScript newer then 2.9.0.4. Giorgio know this but is busy with Mozilla new addon sh**
So we need to wait until he fix it, or maybe never get a fix

I don't know if the new NoScript version (2.9.0.12) fix the problem or the new Pale Moon 27 (alpha) but ABE works again in Pale Moon!

And then there's DownloadThemAll, where the developers appear to have given up on both FF and PM

Cracking open the XPI is the easest way to determin extention type

install.js is the ancient xpfe manifest file.. very rare these days

install.rdf is the standard metadata manifest file for classical (gecko 1.8+) extensions

install.rdf + bootstrap.js denotes Bootstrap (restarless) extensions

install.rdf + bootstrap.js + harness-options.json (cfx) or package.json (jpm) denotes a Jetpack (Add-ons SDK) extension

manifest.json with or without install.rdf denotes WebExtensions

These files are in the root of an XPI file.. Hope that at least clears up some confusion..

As a note.. Mozilla intends to use XPI only until the W3C (read: Google) decides on a final file extension, archive format, and mime-type.

Why is the dTa development halted because the deprecation of XPCOM/XUL?

Have the devs informed about PM which are still supporting XPCOM/XUL?

That's a good news.

BTW, How do you do to test ABE?

Yeah, I think they are referring to a feature known as ABE in Noscript
