The data I needed to pass was quite simple, so I simply serialized it to JSON and then passed them as strings in a nsICollection (actually, a @mozilla.org/supports-array;1 collection of @mozilla.org/supports-string;1) and then just eval()’d the data within the xul window’s javascript.

This is a bit of a hack, but its probably the simplest way of passing structured data. What would be nice is a bit of code that would automagically serialize a bean to JSON notation… I’m sure there are many out there (This apache struts class looks promising)
