* interface for plugins to handle mixed XML languages. Final goal:  FF + plugins should be able to handle a SMIL + XHTML + [http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlMusic.html MusicML] + SVG + ... document
* To make this happen, a plugin should be able to subscribe to an XML type (e.g MathML, CML, SVG, SMIL) and Firefox would have to pass control to this plug-in when such XML elements are parsed. On the other hand, one cannot rely on the plug-in to give control back to firefox, when encountering other XML standards. So either Firefox itself has to care about every part, or there has to be a close cooperation with plug-in developers to ensure this. All in all the possible nesting of XML standards using namespaces should be supported as far as possible.
