They do, however, encourage the use of their new XP api. (And from what
I had read, they planned on the new API to replace the old, since they
did nothing to update the old method for OSX, for example. We did that
with Macromedia and Adobe.)

How do you figure? There's been no dropping of support for
the
NP_API architecture on the Netscape side, and so far as I can
tell
there are no plans to drop it. Netscape has dropped support for
LiveConnect in the 6.x series, but that's not the same as
dropping
NP_API, despite what some marketing departments would have you
believe.
