But I'm looking at the Plugins as a way to abstract multiple back-end actions taken in response to data recieved by a number of asynchronous events (off of LineReciever and XML-RPC).
This is only useful if you need to plug-in new actions, either by 3rd parties or as a configuration measure. If the actions are fixed, an easier way to do it is command dispatch to appropriately named methods, like the way XML-RPC dispatches a "foobar" command to the method xmlrpc_foobar, or to appropriate command-handling objects.
