I know that Apple is working on implementing the newer Mozilla Javascript NSAPI,

I'd like to correct a misconception. The Safari team at Apple developed and implemented the initial version of this API. We worked with people from Mozilla, Opera, Macromedia, Sun, and others who helped us refine it, and Mozilla implemented it as well.


which is great, but my client is not really interested in waiting on Apple to handle this, nor are they interested in having to tell the user to get the latest Safari, (which may/may not require a newer version of OSX,) in order to use this product. My own inclination is to not try anything tricky and just to implement this using the new NPAPI instead. This would mean that the product would only work in Mozilla/Firefox.

Assuming for the sake of argument that the new version of Safari didn't require a new version of OS X, is there a reason your client would be willing to require the latest Firefox which adds support for this new plug-in scripting API, but not willing to require the latest Safari which also adds such support?
