Plugin, to me, implies something less in-depth as far as expansion goes, that you just plug it in but the sum total of where the two meet is over a thin interface, much as you have the concept of motherboard and daughterboard[1]
I dislike mod because it has all the connotations I want to discourage. And really, add-on to me covers everything - there's no limit on scope, nor are we implying a semi-fixed classification to things. People do create avatar packs and smiley packs, and these are add-ons in a sense, but they're not mods (yet use the same interface)
