Yeah. It sounds like something that's never going to happen. If Adobe Air had been wildly successful then I think the world would be clamoring for an open-source alternative.
XULrunner seemed like a good idea at the time but apparently it disappeared from Ubuntu years ago and I didn't notice. An easier, and more sensible project would be implementing the python stack trace (or, more ambitiously, pdb or even ipython) in pyjamas for a debugging facility. If pyjs can compile arbitrary python code, it should be able to compile pypy (python implemented in python) which could be used for this.
