Yeah, what's a plugin and what isn't is a UA thing, so if the UA decides that its PNG and SVG "plugins" happen to be native support, well, that's what it is. (Both PNG and SVG are recognised by Mozilla's <embed> because at one point they were plugin-only in IE and so people would use <embed> instead of <img>/<object> and so when Mozilla moved to native implemen- tations for those types, it kept <embed> working for compatiblility.)
BTW, Mozilla supports all its image formats in <embed>. How can you drop <applet> if you want to be compatible with the current web?
