I'm not suggesting anything, the paper I linked just described one such method for executed untrusted binary code through the browser.
At a cursory glance it looks like NativeClient is built on a sandbox and doesn't allow arbitrary binary applications to run natively on the OS. It doesn't allow system calls and looks like some sort of run-time manages memory on behalf of the application.
If you're at all interested, it cannot hurt to read the paper I linked to. It was written in 1997 and requires a little bit of historical forgiveness but the ideas are rather quite interesting.
