There's a HUGE way to go to get there and I don't believe we really ever will. OSes support every language, 100s of Input Method Editors, all the issues of left to right and more complex text rendering than English. Asking every webpage to provide all of that and to keep all of that up-to-date would be a huge loss for the web and app dev in general.

It doesn't seem terribly unlikely. I don't think it's the goal, but it seems like a fairly likely outcome.
