I'm really looking forward to this new version. Nice to know it's being tested now, though.

Yep - unfortunately for Apple, the plugin can be updated.
I haven't tried the plugin, but depending on what it does and how it works, its highly likely Apple will block it out. iTunes is not a web browser with a completely open plugin architecture.
If the plugin hijacks the Store's rendering or feeds, I'd expect that it'll be blocked out fairly soon. However, there's nothing stopping them from producing a local proxy server app that basically alters all iTunes requests/responses to include additional content from other sources.
Might be able to emulate a USB player device, however since copying is only permitted one-way, I don't think this would help too much.

Perhaps Apple's first bout with Spyware? Hijack-ware, perhaps?
