--- Comment #31 from antoine at thirdshelf.com ---
As an example of how much this is needed, the Chrome team even implemented a Native Messaging API. Presently available for extensions, but there is talk to bring it straight to web.
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging

Communication from web to native and back is a very real use case. It should be allowed in Webkit/Safari (with CORS to mitigate any concern), until you decide to supersede it with something better like Chrome's Native Messaging API. At least there will be a path for developers.
