But I care a lot about accessing native resources (communication with a service on localhost via a proprietary, speed optimized protocol), and I care about drawing a native window inside the current document in the browser, with real time images streamed from the service.
A native window is specifically something we do not intend to allow in 
any form (plugin, extension, etc). If you require that level of 
OS-specific behavior, you should switch to a native application.
