.xpi files are a packaging format for browser extensions. They only
work on Firefox/Mozilla, whereas many more browsers (e.g. Opera)
understand the plugin format itself (which is just a .dll on Windows).
So a .xsi would contain the plugin, but I'm not sure if it could
contain the whole Etoys installation. If that was possible then yes,
it would be valuable if someone made a .xsi installer. Contributions
welcome :)
