-We propose generalizing the concept of rendering to include 2D RGBA, 3D, audio, and possibly other approaches.  To facilitate this, we propose the addition of a new struct type.
+We expect to use the term renderer in a more general sense than just graphics, so we present NPAPI with a structure that can be extended as other interfaces are added (e.g., audio, 3D graphics, hardware accelerators).  To facilitate this, we propose the addition of a new struct type.
+A plugin will request rendering contexts using the following structure.
+<pre>
+typedef struct _NPRenderContext
+{
+  union {
+    struct {
+      void* region;
+      int32 stride;
+      ...  /* Other information as needed for 2D RGBA */
+    } graphicsRgba;
+    ...  /* Other variants for renderers. */
+  } u;
+} NPRenderContext;
+</pre>
