Seemingly arbitrary limitation, when according to the documentation
Java applets and Flash are supported.
Web Plug-ins are not supported (if this is in QL documentation, it
is a bug).

Last Paragraph claims:
"Although the code listing uses an img HTML element for the cid-
scheme reference to the image attachment, you can also use the object
element for all kinds of attachments (images, audio, videos, Java
applets, and Flash animations). It is not recommended that you use Web
Kit plug-ins in enriched HTML passed back to Quick Look."
Would have been nice to have some client-side javascript to produce
a nice functional QuickLook document, instead of being limited to
'no nib allowed' C code. Why no full Objective-C support for
Quicklook seems rather odd.
Security, stability and other reasons.
QL is not meant to fully replace an application. It's not meant to
be some sort of Active X or OpenDoc either. Its goal is much more
limited (but in the end much more useful ;-) ).
For more complex document formats the ability to provide a UI is
necessary. For example to explore archives, or in my case a hybrid
document that contains a number of other documents (each of which do
have PDF and gif previews), and where the document state changes
dynamically because it is of a collaborative nature.
In general, QL could be made a lot nicer for Cocoa Programmers than
that limited C API.
