The APIs only show media streams being parsed through HTML. Interpreted
languages are still developing and can sill be surpassed by compiled
languages such as C/Python.

Something like this I guess:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture/
http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/
Those documents only show how you pass audio, media, and other streams
into HTML. It doesn't describe how you actually drive the hardware or
how you connect the hardware to the operating system. While this
answers the question "how will an HTML5 app interface with a camera"
it doesn't obviate the need for native drivers and modules to talk to
the hardware, which was partly the OP's point.
