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.

<ircs://irc.libera.chat/#dillo>

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.
