The issue with the example code needs to be tracked through Radar.  I see that
you filed <rdar://problem/5570872> on that issue, which is great.  This
bugzilla entry can focus specifically on the behavioural difference between
WebKit and Firefox/Opera when loading NPAPI plugins.  Specifically, the problem
is that "main" is not called by WebKit on a mach-o plugin while Firefox/Opera
require it to be present for the plugin to be used in a page.  This can be
reproduced by doing modifying the NetscapeMoviePlugin sample code to remove the
two references to "int main(...)".  You can also verify with a debugger that
"main" is invoked by both Firefox and Opera as part of the plugin
initialization for mach-o plugins, not only for CFM binaries as WebKit
currently does.
