I have to wonder about beating them out at this point. Not impossible, but
the alternative would really have to sing!
The one thing that could help is not being IE centric, as most of these
things tend to be. I tend to live in unix/linux/Amiga land and have huge
problems getting the plugins to run on anything my the occasional use

love to see REBOL/media, too, but not sure it should be a primary
time sink.
