Hi Simon, Had a long weekend so just picking up this thread. Looks like a really useful discussion and I too like the requirement driven approach. I have a few to add/comment on. It seems that a plugin resolves to a component type or binding, i.e. what the assembly model refers to as extensi

Hi guys, I thought I might kick off a thread on pluggability in the C++ implementation to get some ideas rolling around, so while these are not 'requirements' at all, they might eventually lead to some ;) 1. Language independence is not an issue here, so all plugins are described and implemented
