PNaCl was a terrible idea. It was as bad of an idea as shipping the raw sqlite interface in the browser.
I feel like some of the Google-sourced standards are the laziest, least-webby ones out there. There are some good ones that come from the Chrome team, but man the real stinkers are _always_ a lazy Google engineer trying to ship a half-baked clone of something native in the browser because they need it for something or other internally.
