That. Each of the 20 different things you want to do is a line or two of 
code. And that's the boilerplate.

Zll the stuff that the XML references has to be included in the program. If 
you define a new type of widget and you want to reference that code in the 
XML, you need at least some line somewhere saying where to get that widget.

Uh, no. There are lots of languages for writing web browser plugins, 
including javascript, C#, and probably others I don't know of offhand. I 
wouldn't be surprised if anything capable of doing COM could act as a web 
browser plug-in on Windows. That's kind of the point of COM.
