Ideally we can have some abstract layer -- so type of hardware does not  
need to be exposed -- that JavaScript can script against. Not sure how  
feasible that is though. It would be quite cool if all kinds of devices  
such as game controllers, medical devices, etc. can be connected in a  
browser-agnostic way (i.e. no extensions) and the page could provide the  
implementation. Seems somewhat far away though. :-)
