utterly different code bases. Flash under webkit is just another
plugin. I bet Apple don't even write the plugin code.
My pet theories are licensing disagreements or general malaise at
Apple (they have also pretty much neglected QuickTime interactive
support).
I can't speak for the current QuickTime but a few versions ago, when
I was writing movie handlers, I know that the engineers would confess
to some parts of the Quicktime source being truly terrifying code ;-)
As I understand it, the Flash support in QuickTime is essentially
reverse-engineered. I think you will find it works without any Flash
plugins installed on your system.
