This leads me to more questions?

1. In the code you have currenly written, where does the plug-in name
come from?  In other words, how is it specified?

1a. Do Lisp programs specify it?

1a. Is there code in Emacs that figures out the right plug-in to use?
If so, what method does it use, and based on what information?

2. In the code you have currenly written, what prevents use of
a bad or ugly plug-in?
