Currently, NS_DOWNLOAD_CONTRACTID can only be a single download observer. it would be nice if multiple ones were supported; maybe via an xpcom category and some way to express priorities. this would allow easily plugging in external download managers. semantics might be "use first implementation for which Init returns success".
I was actually thinking that a broadcast system might make sense so that you could say have a status bar extension tracking downloads as well as the full download manager or something like that.
