This means people will need to download the plugin again, doesn't it?

The lurking versioning problem is serious.  When versions mix on a
SuperSwiki, media becomes difficult to access within months.  It seems
that, whenever the Squeak project decides to settle down and seriously
start growing a big collection of active essays, it will be necessary to
fix the version of Squeak they are written in.

It is possible in principle to make multiple versions interact nicely,
but even there it will be much easier if the number of versions is small
-- e.g., Squeak 3.0, Squeak 3.2, .... :)
