It goes beyond plugins, we need a way to communicate from LSL to other 
built-in client enhancements we might develop too.  I'm working on an 
idea for that. I'll put up a wiki page on it tomorrow.

And slow, considering the client can directly do some of that stuff a 
lot more efficiently, but it might be a start.

That's very limited thinking.  Most of the stuff I'd want to do with 
plugins have nothing in common with the stuff that HUDs do.
