Well, if Mozilla can detect that the code is intended for NS4 (which is
not always possible) it would be possible for it to do what NS4 did.
(with quite a bit of extra code).
HOWEVER, this is unlikely to happen - Mozilla does not support
proprietary extensions to standards (with very few exceptions).
The reason for this is, I suppose, to make people use the standards;
which is a good thing, because standards are documented, proprietary
extensions not usually.
