Well if anyone is able to spare the time and has the ability to write
such an emulator, I would help them pull together a business case for
financing the project (if indeed financial incentive will help it get
off the ground).

You mean something like this
http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/ts1000/index.html
but for the QL ?
Yeah, would be cool :)
Yes something like that would be ideal !!
... and loadable as an application on smart phones!

Yes - I wonder if Quanta would be willing to help fund the development
of this and other emulators to help keep developing interest in the
Sinclair QL?

I like the look of that - a TS1000 (ZX81) running its programs in a
browser window. Certainly a way of attracting past users to try out
"retro" programs.
Quanta has looked at business cases for certain projects before. Some
did get finance, some didn't.
The best way is to submit a proper business case to the Chairman and
the committee can then discuss it on its merits.
I know that the previous Quanta Chairman did ask in a Chairman's
Report column earlier this year "the question arises as to whether
there might be merit in porting JAVA to the QL", for example. But
being able to run QL programs in a PC or Mac browser window like the
ZX81/TS1000 example given would be great if it were to come about.
