The abandonment of EXTERNPROTO as a browser extension mechanism should
not be trivialized. The text in the above link says that, "The way to
provide browser-specific extensions is through custom components." But
how do you refer to one of these "custom components" over the network?

You do not refer to a "custom component" over the network. Custom components are specified in the Component statement at the beginning of every X3D file. This statement (along with Profile and X3D version number) tell the browser what is expected in the content.
