For the record, Google’s NaCl and its Mozilla-backed rival asm.js are now both 
being superseded by WebAssembly (wasm), a new format created with support and 
collaboration from all major browser vendors:

So that increases the appeal of compiling (all or some of) LilyPond to 
WebAssembly, but I would imagine that it doesn’t change its feasibility, at 
least not in the short term.
