I finally got a chance this morning to sit down and try to figure out  
what's happening with the Adobe Acrobat 8 plug-in, and I have bad  
news and good news.

The bad news is that the plug-in is asking the application's for its  
bundle identifier, and unless the application returns  
"com.apple.Safari" the plug-in just displays its Acrobat icon.

The good news is that if I modify OmniWeb to return  
"com.apple.Safari" when the plug-in asks for that bundle identifier,  
the plug-in seems to work just fine in OmniWeb:  the page content  
loads, all of the plug-in's controls show up, you can browse the  
thumbnails, etc.

Unfortunately, that's not a very practical general solution, but it  
does seem to indicate that it would be trivial for Adobe's plug-in to  
add support for OmniWeb:  it need to just stop disabling itself.
