I think things like Emscripten are crazy hacks in a way, but the problem I think with Flash and even Pnacl is that they are not standards based and therefore will probably never be cross platform without being beholden to some company in Adobes case, or in Pnacls case the fact the one of Mozillas product managers said they have no intention of supporting native code in the browser (according to wikipedia anyway).  
For better or worse we are stuck with javascript, Emscripten will work best in Firefox due to the Odin Monkey javascript engine (I suppose it is open Apple and Google whether they want their javascript engines optimised in this way as well), but csound.js runs ok in Safari on a 6 year old Macbook pro here too.

It something a lot closer to a "universal" Csound application. And it would be easy to do user-defined widgets. Frankly, this could save us all a huge load of work.
