Based on my exchange via Mastodon, I have the impression that they know
that thinking about file format plugins will be useful.  Maybe the
browser currently only renders text/html and text/plain.  Enough to do a
lot but sure far from universal.  Jump into their chat or ask via GitHub
issue or in their mailinglist?  I'm still hoping that they make their ML
accessible via NNTP.

The Gopher- and Nex-plugins happily let the browser handle everything
they cannot transform to HTML on their own.  Additional to the plugins'
"native" text formats I only tested HTML and plain text with both of
them.

I've near to no idea about TRON.

But yes: I'd like to see "fetchers" and "renderers" as separate plugins
too and it might help to let them know what you think about this too.
