If we write a pyglet plugin, we have to guarantee sandboxing, which requires
we write a custom python interpreter - skulpt already does this. We would
also have to make sure the plugin runs on IE8, Firefox and WebKit (at the
very least), which is no small task - skulpt does this already too.

And then there are the issues of adoption and trust. Pretty much every
browser has javascript enabled, but how many people will install unknown
3rd-party browser plugins?
