Alain: I avoid these too, but probably for different
reasons. Users hate plugins. The download(s). The
installation(s). The upgrade(s). Where to put then?
When to upgrade them? Identifying the plugin as the
culprit of buggy system behaviour, in the first place.

Alain: Sound a bit like cookies. Client-side
file-access limited to a designated location
(file/folder) on the client's machine. The main hitch
with cookies, for me, is that the user doesn't
necessarily always use the same machine. Hence, his
cookies don't follow him around. Thus, it is an
un-reliable means of maintaining state.
