Description Simon Kaegi CLA 2011-02-18 13:53:36 EST 
Plugins at the moment can live in iframes and web workers. There are interesting things me might be able to do if plugins can also live in browser extensions. Also interesting is the ideas around hosting the plugin registry in a browser extension.
