No documentation
WebExplorer API limitations:
Only one render window per process
Navigation commands fail sometimes
Some Netscape plug-ins use some undocumented things. For example QuickFlick (manipulates Netscape's scrollbars). These plug-ins don't work.
The IBM Plugin Pack 2.1 for Communicator has several bugs. One bug in the video plug-in can block the PM. I can reproduce it with Communicator/2. I hope IBM will fix these bugs soon.
