13 Actually, I think it is plugin-compatible with netscape, not necessarily
14 netscape-based. For example, Konquerer can use the same plugins. At
15 any rate, it is probably best to think about this now, hence using
16 nsplugin, rather than later, when whiz-bang $browser comes out that has
17 its own plugin interface.
