XBL2 lives on a branch as it is not suited for inclusion inside WebKit as-is.
The current XBL2 implementation is very limited, it includes adding /
removing a binding through JavaScript or CSS but does not include the
rendering part (shadow tree generation). It lays out some of the XBL2
internals but it is more a stub than anything.

I think you could filter the flash plugin when it is registered for a
page inside WebKit (the code is inside WebCore/plugins). I cannot help
you more as I have a very limited knowledge of the NPAPI.
