Plugins are certainly part of the platform, I'm not sure I agree with that. If that were true, Chrome would not be trying to move away from NPAPI, Safari would support Flash and other plugins on iOS, etc. We certainly have defined some things around plugins, but they are mostly a black box still and everyone hopes to move away from them just like Apple did. > and, as > you've noticed in previous threads Anne, there's intense disagreement as to > standards' role in recommending browser behavior regarding the interaction > of extensions and the platform. There may be disagreement, but that's the role standards have taken to date. We don't run conformance test suites of standards on browsers plus their myriad of extensions. Or on custom builds of browsers some set of users decided to start using (same as extensions). None of that seems tenable either, so I'm not sure why there would be disagreement. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
