[sldev] Suggestion for viewer plug-ins

[Edward Artaud]

I've documented my thinking about the requirements for a viewer plug-in
model in a Jira entry:

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7970

There are some discussions of plug-ins in the wiki (
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Plugin_architecture), however, I don't think
they fully convey the importance of this capability for the evolution of the
platform or mention the requirement for plug-ins to actually participate in
the rendering pipeline.  I'm increasingly becoming convinced that in order
for SL to be a viable platform for professional content, that such a plug-in
model will be required if for no other reason than for third-parties to be
implement the content protection and access to secure assets they need
outside of the open-source codebase.
