What about drawing native windows in the browser? I mean windows which really need to be native?

And, since it it a major argument that NPAPI is insecure, because it makes it possible to call native code with access to the system - how much more secure is the approach to create an extension that calls native code? It seems to lead the argument ad absurdum, that NPAPI is insecure (which I think is not really true anyway, because it is the same as saying: "all computer programs are insecure, because the C/C++ API has access to the system").
