+To provide these improvements to NPAPI we propose that the changes below be another platform, called "Pepper", that may be implemented by a browser and requested by a plugin at startup.  As the Pepper platform provides a number of APIs either not previously specified or previously tied to OS-dependent header files, we propose adding a new header, npapi_extensions.h.
-A plugin may call NPN_GetValue() with the following NPNVariable to query the browser whether it supports the Pepper platform:
-<pre>
-/* TRUE if the browser supports the Pepper platform */
-NPNVsupportsPepperBool = xxxx
-</pre>
-Once the plugin finds Pepper to be supported, it calls NPN_SetValue() to tell the browser to use that platform. We're adding a new NPNVariable for this:
-<pre>
-NPNVpluginUsePepperPlatform = yyyy /* TRUE if we should use the Pepper platform */
-</pre>
