Details

in some cases, the nsObjectLoadingContent code asks the plugin to do the load
(for example, it assumes that if no URI but a type is specified, that the plugin
will be able to find the content by itself).

It would be great if there was a way to detect if the plugin can't find any
content either, so that we should fallback.
jst, this might be plugin-futures fodder.
Does this really block bug 1156 (as in, is a regression from it)?  Or should this depend on bug 1156?
As filed I don't think we can or want to fix this.
