It should have no dependency on the agent domain. It serves to consume and produce location identifiers into the grid which - should be URLs, e.g. "given a friend's SLurl, show it on the map", "generate a SLurl for a location so I can initiate a teleport to it". I would posit that this could be implemented entirely as a web page hosted via a generic web context provider in a viewer - no need for a specific plugin. The region domain would provide a standardized cap which is actually a web page a la slurl.com, which generates URLs the viewer can act on (e.g. to initiate teleport). If there does need to be agent domain/region domain interaction (E.g. "highlight my friends on the map") then there would need to be some VWRAP-ish negotiation, e.g. the agent domain(s) of your friends provide caps that you can pass on to the region domain map service.
