I don't have a WMP plugin (or a Windows OS, at the moment), do you have maybe a flash testcase? Also: which version of Firefox did you test with?
Either way, it works in Opera, but the difference is that with the latter, the plugin itself does the resolving. If you actually want the plugin itself to do the resolving, and the plugin doesn't know codebase, I think you should be allowed to make things work.
I absolutely don't think this should be up to each implementor. And I don't think the spec should require it either. Where does this baseurl attribute come from anyway? I can't seem to find docs on it.
It's the wmp netscape plugin and MS's documentation that's the problem, but they're never going to fix it, which is why I think it should be allowed to make things work even if it is the plug-ins fault.
Why are they never going to fix it? And why should the browser work around it?
To sum things up, there needs to be a set or common way of making pain-in-the-butt plugins work, but again, I guess this is beyond the spec.
Why does there _need_ to be such a way?
