the point is that those control plasmoid can be put everywhere, as desktop widgets, in a kpart of an application, as "mobile apps", as fullscreen control thinghies in the mediacenter. what whould eventually change of that plasmoid in being shown on a desktop or on a mediacenter (or on a tablet, or on a toaster) is the user interface, and that's one of the big points of the qml plasmoids, being able to load different ui qml files depending on the shell they are running on. as the abstraction layer, i think different plugins for the same dataengine/services could be the way to go.
