Personally, I don't think running it inside a browser would be a good thing... both for keyboard shortcuts, and also for possible issues of non-free JS (or not-machine-readable free JS information).
However, it's good to have interoperability with other collaborative editing tools, such as Gobby for which there is already an Emacs Lisp package for that, and also Etherpad (although I don't know if there is a package that allows connecting to this one).
