I'm fairly sure that any other plugins will face similar limitations
caused by the restrictions of the plugin interfaces available. Thus,
plugins tend to have their own separate menu and own separate
configuration.

Native implementations can be much more fully integrated - things like
view source, pause/resume, bookmark, etc are done the same way for SVG
as they are for content like HTML.

I recall that it did, and was even documented somewhere, but as you
say that is primarily of historical interest.
