Sherlock 3 is a platform, too, but it's a well-kept secret. For a brief week or so after Jaguar was released, Apple had fairly detailed developer documentation on the ADC website describing the architecture of Sherlock 3, which were annuonced in an ADC newsletter. Sherlock 3 was clearly designed to be just as extensible via plugins as Watson. There was reference to an SDK that provided support for a special Sherlock panel in Interface Builder, but that SDK was never mentioned anywhere else on the ADC site. I was waiting for it to appear, but then the developer docs themselves suddenly disappeared and there hasn't been a peep from Apple since then about the Sherlock SDK.
