This just goes to prove that what developers really want out of browsers is not a document viewer but a deployment platform. To go to these lengths, someone has to be very concerned about getting one set of code to run on practically any device. You don't otherwise end up with something like this.
This wouldn't have been possible without the work the Chromium team has done to achieve such complete compatibility between desktop and mobile versions. But unfortunately the browser is still stuck in the mentality that it's just a document viewer. I think we really need to wake up and make the browser into a proper deployment platform. I applaud efforts like this, even if I don't immediately have a need for such a thing, because they are doing the necessary work to push on browser developers to release the right features towards that goal.
