The runtime (which I was taking about) isn't a blob. Plus minified and obsfucated JavaScript is already quite common. See closure and asm.js.

Neither is Wine (which can host ActiveX controls), but I'm not going to try it at home. And I agree that modern minified, packed and obfuscated JavaScript is also more like a binary blob than source code. WebAssembly is just a logical conclusion of this.
