Non-IE browsers use a different plugin model... no ActiveX CLSIDs, everything's assigned by MIME Type.

No reason there couldn't be a Windows Media Player plugin.

The UI is very pretty.  I have some usability problems with it though.

Yes, there is a Fijian language

Chording system... I want this!  But I thought the keyboard interface was limited to a certain number of simultaneously pressed keys?

In Windows, the Explorer windows (aka shell windows), the navigation bar (back, forward, address / breadcrumb bar / search) is fixed at the top.   IE will do the same, for consistency with the shell as well as anti-spoofing.

Doesn't toolbar customization make it harder to spoof the chrome?

I know when I'm surfing on a Mac, and a spoofed Windows dialog pops up, I get a good laugh.

Nooooo!  Make a standalone XMLEditor instead.

Modularization and custom handlers looks very interesting.

Re: default documents... there are, naturally, tricks you can do to emulate a default index.html even if you're not an admin, like

default.asp:
<%
    Dim q
    q = Request.QueryString
    If q = "" Then
        Response.Redirect "index.html"
    Else
        Response.Redirect "index.html?" & q ' already URLEncoded
    End If
%>

Very cool!

I noticed that Fields are private-by-default, and Methods are public-by-default.

I have to question that... I frequently find myself developing private "helper methods", and it seems that methods should be private by default as a security/encapsulation feature.

LUA won't stop users from infecting themselves with spyware.  But it will make sure they don't infect other users.  So Mom will get much less spyware by giving Junior a limited-user account.  (And vice versa.)
