Nobody is proposing that.

Neither NaCL, PNaCL, nor asm.js are 3rd-party browser plugins.

I agree that it's time to move on. It's time to treat the web as a real application platform, instead of as document model with a JavaScript scripting interface.

NaCL, PNaCL aren't plugins because they're features of one specific browser. I don't know of any 3rd party developers using them.

I think asm.js is brilliant and I hope it does turn out to be the way forward. But it's also a poster child for maintaining compatibility with existing browsers through standard Javascript.
