Well, there's a slight semantic difference between plugin and add-on, which is why I went for add-on as a term. I really don't care what we call it provided that 1) we're consistent and 2) that it makes sense. Heck, we can even use an unrelated word if there's some logical reason for it (like I, oddly, suggested 'drawers' for Simple*Desk*, moons ago)
Perhaps a new-use word related to the Wedge idea, like Lever (another Simple Machine) or Sliver (an extended wedge) is called for if none of the other currently used terms will fit.

From the way you all have been describing how the add-ons/plugins will interact with Wedge (no template/code changes to the base), "extension" seems like an appropriate and widely accepted term to me.
