Whilst we're on the subject of plug-ins, that just reminded me - somebody was asking the other day about plug-ins in NetSurf. I know the RISC OS version has the Acorn plugin protocol, but is it possible to use a similar approach to implement the Netscape plugin API on other platforms? Estimate of amount of work required? I have little incentive to do this myself until there is evidence of somebody writing/porting a useful plug-in, but I may tackle it in the future if it's not a big hassle rewrite type job. This would be particulary useful for the gtk version I'd have thought, given they have proper Java and Flash Netscape API plugins ready to go.
