I think Plugins should be considered as part of this.

While a plugin may, in one way, be considered part of the user agent, in  
other respects (IMO the more important ones) it is an independent  
secondary user agent the perform certain tasks through the primary user  
agent. However, the primary UA have limited knowledge about and control  
over what the secondary agent can do.
