That's my understanding, having never written a Firefix plugin...
Depending on how integrated you want it to look (e.g. If it opens
another application, not very; if it takes over a region of the Safari
display, then it's going to look like part of Safari), it could end up
being a small stub to launch your app, or your app could be a complete
plugin.
By going the webkit route, though, that should buy you working with
anything that uses webkit, without additional effort.
Either way, you should try to partition the code, so you can share as
much code as possible between everything, IMO. I am always a fan of
less work. 8-).

Terry,
Wow, this helps quite a lot -- many thanks! Since this is WebKit,
i'm assuming it's Safari-specific i.e. i'll have to do it a
different way for Firefox (XPCOM, here I come)?
Go to developer.apple.com and search for WevKitPluginStarter. It
has an example of how you support a new MIME type using a plugin.

John, who has to figure out how to do it for Windows next *sigh*
