Wow, this sounds like a great idea. I didn't think that far yet, when
I worked on the PubletsProposal I always had a mixture of publets and
publication functionality in mind. But if the custom functionality of
a publication is implemented entirely using plug-ins, that would indeed
simplify the architecture (and help to enforce a "how-to" like develoment),
provide stronger contracts and limit flexibility to a reasonable amount.

This is a very appealing implication of the above statement.
