I like your ideas.  Taking a step back are we in agreement on the  
"everything else as plugins" approach?  We have been hinting at this  
for some time and doing various interesting things with plugins but I  
don't see enough of the big picture yet to provide much useful  
feedback on your proposal.   Maybe the time is right to start a big  
picture discussion about plugins. I'll cook something up and maybe  
that thread will help us answer some of your questions.


Best wishes,
