There have been many options, successful to varying but mostly lesser degrees, to use web technologies to produce full-featured applications. Some of them are insanely interesting. I suppose all this depends on how you define a "Web Application". Using the various application frameworks provided by IE, Firefox and others you can do most all of this with Web Technologies (HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, etc) - but these apps do not exist in a web browser container. (Actually many of them exist in a "browser container" but one without normal browser chrome or interface conventions.) However they are done using web technologies and distributed via HTTP so the distinction is fine. So the question "can you do that in a browser" is very often "no" - but the answer "can you do that in a web app" is very often "yes... if you're willing to accept the following trade-offs/requirements".
