I'd expect each type of content to run in it's own container, inside the 
Apollo meta-container.
There would then be a per-container extension library (some new classes for 
Flex, a JS lib for HTML, ...) you could use in the embeded app to access the 
newer stuff. 
This fits with the few bits of Flex code we've seen (porting a Flex app by 
adding an import and new top level tags).

I imagine that would work.
But, "ewwwwwwwwww !". It'd be nicer to have it Just Work.
