We're talking about multiple domains here: the container (eg. facebook.com) and 
the content (eg. youtube.com, hulu.com, zynga.com etc.) I'm not sure if we need 
to support fine-grained controls over both types of domains here, or simply 
allow plug-in content to play back immediately when a click is received on the 
container. We'll have to try different approaches here and go with what makes 
the best sense.

My opinion is that click to play absolutely should have an easy 'always allow 
plugins to play on this domain'
option for the user for cases like this - this should be persisted unless the 
user decides to explicitly
revoke it. Would that address your concern ? 

thanks,
ian

Sites like Facebook already have an image preview of their Flash links that 
users already have to click to play. We may need some way to avoid requiring 
multiple clicks to get at the plug-in content.

Ah ok, makes sense.  I'd love to get UX feedback here on these respective 
proposals (implicit persistence of permission on a sliding time window vs 
explicit checkbox in overlay).  Thanks!
