Is it possible to use jQuery to manipulate XUL elements?

I know its possible to integrate jQuery within Firefox addons, but are we able to manipulate (animate, move, adjust transparency, etc) XUL elements themselves?

Unfortunately, jQuery fails to initialize in XUL because of the HTML-specific functions like document.body that exist for HTML pages only. However there is a special branch called jQuery-xul that it optimized for use in FireFox extensions. I have checked, it works fine.
