Although Mozilla isn't a required component of an LSB runtime,
that was actually the context in which the question was raised:
if someone wants to make a plugin for Mozilla, can they derive
any benefit from using the LSB? Does Mozilla need to be 
LSB-comforming too before this makes sense?  And in the case
of Maya, which I don't know much about, does the same question
apply?  That is, plugins packaged together with an app only
care about the app, but what if a developer outside such a
project wants to make a plugin available?
