everything you say can be done in the system I am proposing. I will post an example of a rating system, nested comments, and perhaps a calendar.
I think it would be limiting to have a plugin system that can only be used by the app that includes the plugin. The reason I'd like plugins to refresh themselves via ajax instead of via controllers is because they would allow to do more. Anyway, one thing does not exclude the other.
